  1. The forum is open to anyone who lives or works in the Newsome area. We have regular meetings for residents, community groups, volunteers and officers working in the Newsome Ward. We meet to share information about local groups and events, and to look at issues of concern in the Newsome Ward. There are guest speakers and refreshments at each meeting.

    We also run and support a range of community based activities, including, the Newsome Kiddies' Christmas party and the Hey Green community orchard.

    Meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of January, March, May, July, September and November. Meetings start at 6pm in the Board Room at Newsome High School (food available from 5.45pm onwards).

Normally we add categories for you when the entry is set up, but you have the option to edit them. Very occasionally some categories have restricted usage and we’ll let you know if we feel there’s a problem.

The categories are tiered with the broadest first. Click on the plus sign till you find the specific categories that best suit your group.
