Latest News Active Northumberland Update Two long established Northumberland based leisure charities, Blyth Valley Arts and Leisure (BVAL) and North Country Leisure (NCL), have been working in partnership for several years to improve services and have now developed their partnership more formally. A new joint charity, “Active Northumberland” has been set up between both organisations to manage and develop leisure services in North, West and South East Northumberland on behalf of Northumberland County Council. Active Northumberland runs well-known leisure sites such as Concordia and the Sporting Club in Cramlington, Willowburn in Alnwick, Waterworld in Prudhoe, Blyth Sports Centre, and Wentworth Leisure Centre in Hexham, as well as some more specialist sites such as the Beach Huts at Blyth, the Tyne Riverside Country Park building in Prudhoe, Rothbury Pool and Gym and the Pegasus Riding Centre near Morpeth, all currently run by either NCL or BVAL.
Summer Dance Show Success! Make-a-move have recently completed their annual Summer Dance Show which was a resounding success. Children from Move-It dance classes took part in the show performing to family and friends who were delighted with the event with many commenting it was the best one yet! This year there were refreshments provided as well as a raffle with some great prizes and DVD’s of the show were available to be purchased by parents. The Make-a-Move team, performers and certainly the parents are all looking forward to the next show which is scheduled for December. For more info on dance classes please contact Sophie Johnson on 07540 412086.
