Events we enjoyed in March and early April
In March events at the Watch House included:
Geordie Evening - This was generally acknowledged to be a great night with fab food, great entertainment and superb company. It was lovely seeing everyone enjoying themselves. As one attendee remarked, the comedy film of “Bobbie Thompson was a giggle, but I needed a translator!”. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard (you know who you are!) to raise over £500.
We had more successful children’s holiday activities: the first was a papercraft session. It’s difficult to know who enjoys these more - the volunteers, the children or their parents! Then our engaging Family Scavenger Hunt.
Music - we welcomed Stewart Hardy and Mary Tyers as part of the ongoing Folk at the Watch House series organised by Phoenix Folk. If you’re a folk fan look out for more in that series. A Women’s Harmony Singing Group has started meeting on Monday nights and will be performing in June at the Cullercoats Festival.
We thank the Shunyata Improvisation Group for their fundraising concert in aid of the Watch House restoration at the beginning of March. Both musicians and audience very much enjoyed the evening in our intimate space.
Nadia’s Moroccan Cookery Classes were very well received. I hear the quality of the food was amazing. A Sound Healing Circle and Money Magic workshop with Soul Sisters by the Sea UK and Spiritual Flamingo was also very successful. The Art Journaling Group with Creative Space NE have finished a series with Mel on Fragile Lives. There was lots of inspiration shared: the next series will be on Botanica. Contact Mel for details creativespacene@gmail.com.
Our first April event was a Dolphin Watch Day and bric-a-brac sale. The Watch House was brimming with delicious home-made savouries and cakes, and the free children’s activities were very popular. It was so busy that all the cakes disappeared, and over £600 was taken. Even after expenses that’s lovely to add to the restoration fund and a credit to all those who put in the work, baking, serving, collecting and selling bric-a-brac.
