East Tynedale Forum’ Has Been in Existence for Over 12 Years Under Different Titles AGENDA 15, Enc xi) East Tynedale Parish and Town Council Forum May 2017 Dear Parish / Town Council The ‘East Tynedale Forum’ has been in existence for over 12 years under different titles. In 2009, when Northumberland became a unitary authority the East Tynedale & Western Castle Morpeth Parish Council Forum, which had been in existence since 20014, was reconstituted as the East Tynedale Community Forum and funding was received from Northumberland County Council . This funding ceased in February 2011, although we were permitted to keep the balance of the grants previously received and the forum was reconstituted as the East Tynedale Parish & Town Council Forum, consisting of 13 parish and 1 town council (see end of document). Its role has and continues to be to promote partnership working across parish boundaries in a distinct geographical area, to enable common issues, objectives, needs and aspirations to be pursued. To share information, experiences, examples of good practise, and work towards partnership working, and to provide a means of information sharing (see details of presentations received during the last two years on attached sheet). The forum meets quarterly at venues across the area covered. In 2012 Northumberland County Council formed the Town & Parish council Liaison Working Group, hosting quarterly meetings to promote better communication and information sharing. Initially membership was limited to town councils and larger parish councils but through work done by our previous chair Adrian Hinchcliffe parish council forum and clusters were invited to become members. I believe having a presence at this meeting enables us to raise issues and disseminate information. We have funded the forum from the balance of previous grants received but this has come to an end and we are considering future funding models. Whilst we are considering if there are any grants we could apply for, at the Forum meetings in January and April, this matter was considered and a formula for the forum to be funded by an annual grant from participating parish and town councils was suggested, see below. The annual budget is approx £650 pa (a more detailed budget will be circulated prior to agm), which covers secretarial services, expenses and room hire for quarterly meetings, and the formula below would provide for this with a small surplus. Prior to the agm, Wednesday 26th July, 7pm, in Wylam Institute we need to be in a position to discuss this matter, agree a formula and review and amend our constitution as appropriate. I would ask if you could discuss this matter within your next council meeting and return to me your views asap, dealing with the questions posed below. Does your parish / town council wish to remain part of the East Tynedale Parish and Town Council Forum? Yes / No Comments If yes does your parish / town council agree with the funding formula attached? Yes / No Comments Do you have any thoughts on the direction you would like the forum to go. Comments Currently we hold meetings on the third Wednesday of each month. Does this clash with your Parish or Town Council meeting? Yes / No 1 At a time when parish and town councils are being expected to / have the opportunity to do more, when partnership working with Northumberland County Council and each other can / will provide solutions and arrangements to solve problems, when communications are vital and need sustaining, developing and improving, I believe the forum is of great value. I thank you for the support you have provided in the past and hope for you continued support in the future, Yours faithfully Tom Martin Chairman East Tynedale Parish & Town Council Forum Broomhaugh & Riding Mill PC £ 30.00 Broomley & Stocksfield PC £ 80.00 Corbridge PC £ 90.00 Heddon PC £ 50.00 Hedley on the Hill PC £ 20.00 Horsley PC £ 20.00 Matfen PC £ 30.00 Newton & Bywell PC £ 20.00 Ovingham PC £ 40.00 Ovington PC £ 30.00 Prudhoe TC £ 300.00 Sandhoe PC £ 20.00 Shotley Low Quarter PC £ 30.00 Wylam PC £ 50.00 £ 810.00 ETP&TCF consists of 13 parish and 1 town councils in East Tynedale.

  • Accessions July – Dec. 2010
    Northumberland Archives Accessions July – Dec. 2010 Each year we receive several hundred new accessions (deposits of records or artefacts). These can range in size from a single item, for example, a photograph, through to several hundred boxes of records. As we accept records into our custody we create an accession record. The information that we record includes a brief description of the item, covering dates, details of the provenance of the item and the status of the deposit, in other words, whether it is a purchase, deposit (long term loan) or a gift. The vast majority of records are deposited with us and remain the property of the depositor and their heirs. We regularly produce a list of the accessions received over a six month period. This is generated from our electronic collections management system and provides brief details of the deposit. If you would like further information about the deposit you should consult our electronic catalogue or speak with a member of staff who will be pleased to advise. The purpose of the list is to allow users to become more aware of new deposits of material. Not all of the items that are referred to on the list will be available for public consultation. Some may be subject to a closure period because of confidential content. Others may not yet be catalogued and therefore cannot be produced.

There has been a congregation of Christians of a Baptist persuasion meeting in the Tyne Valley since 1652, making it the second oldest such church in the north east of England and one of the oldest surviving Baptist churches in the country. However, statistics such as this do not really give the full picture, for a church is not primarily an institution or an organisation, but a community of people who have chosen to serve and worship God together. The real story of Stocksfield Baptist Church is told in the lives of the men and women who for three and a half centuries have encountered God, experienced his love and become followers of Jesus Christ, expressing this new-found faith through believers’ baptism. They have given their lives to serving their Lord through sharing their faith and helping people in need, meeting together for worship and teaching.
