Spotlight on the Wolsingham craft & gift fair.

This month we shine the spotlight on the Wolsingham craft and gift fair which runs every second Saturday of each month.

Hi Christine, tell us a little bit about the craft fair, when and where is it held?

The fair is held in the St Anne’s Centre, which is in the Recreation Park in Wolsingham. The fair was originally held in the Town Hall but for the past few months it has been held in the St. Anne’s Centre which is a great little venue. It was setup in aid of a local charity “Tabitha’s Toys” with each fair helping to support the charity.

Can you tell us a little bit about the charity and how the monthly fairs help support it?

The charity is named after Tabitha Lees Moore who was a very special little girl from Weardale.

She was born with a rare condition called Edwards Syndrome. As many parents find it difficult to take their children to sensory rooms in sports centres

or schools as the children are often too poorly or may need the sensory toys at special times, such as early morning.

Therefore, it is essential that these children have these toys at home. The charity’s aim is to loan sensory toys and equipment to children who are disabled and have complex needs.

The charity are able to loan equipment to children for a period of 6 months.

This is a free service to children from 0-16 years.

What can people expect when they visit the craft fair?

We have lots of local stall holders with a wide variety of goods, Gill Charmen with cushions, and Hellen Murray-English with jewellery, just to mention a couple. There is also Chris Gary with her famous jams and chutneys. We have a pop up kitchen by “Just Like Grandmas” which serves tea, coffee, cake and various savouries, which can be eaten in or taken away.

How can people get involved with the fair?

They can contact me on 07813 629 304 or via Facebook.

Each stall fee is only ÂŁ5 a table at the minute and proceeds after expenses go to the charity at the end of the year. It would be fantastic to see more people at these events so lets spread the word.

Open Evening Thursday, 20 September 2018 6pm – 8pm

Parkside achieves Inspiring STEM School Status Recognising excellence in STEM Provision Parkside is delighted to have achieved Inspiring STEM School Status; the award was only introduced to the North East in September and we are extremely proud to be the first school in the region to be awarded the status.

Mrs Sumega worked with staff to identify evidence within the school to show the effectiveness of our provision for STEM subjects; both inside and outside of the classroom. Our effectiveness was rated in the following categories: leadership support of STEM subjects, extra-curricular activities, outreach opportunities and family participation.

Parkside Academy Hall Lane, Willington, Crook Co. Durham, DL15 0QF Tel: 01388 746 396

We had two inspections from RTC North and our evidence was then verified by independent representatives from STEM businesses in the North East who identified our strengths: “We were very impressed at the amount and range of activities that were going on in the school. In particular the use of STEM Ambassadors in lessons as part of the curriculum was impressive.”

Evidence shows that this consistent and widespread approach is the most effective way to ensure that the STEM programme has high quality impact.

“It’s clear that the school have demonstrated significant engagement with the STEM Ambassador programme through their varied programme of STEM enrichment and engagement. This level of additional support will impact their students in the educational and life choices they are making.”

Death of the high street Story by Ritchie Coatsworth

For many years I’ve heard people talk about the death of the high street and I guess with the many out of town retail parks that are now everywhere, they could be right in some cases.

Places like Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland and Middle Street, Consett seem to have more empty shops than open ones these days which is such a shame. Thankfully for me Crook seems largely unaffected by this. Shops in Hope Street don’t seem to stay empty for very long before a new business moves in which is fantastic for the community and the local economy.

As a child a shopping trip seemed like a real treat and it seemed that you were travelling far and wide when in reality you were only going down the road to Crook or the larger metropolis of Bishop Auckland, with it’s large variety of shops.

Even a visit to Crook had plenty to offer a small boy. I remember one of my favourite shops being Pott’s Newsagents which was where Card Crazy is now in Hope Street, they stocked magazines, sweets, model farms, model knights and castles plus lots of small things like power balls and polystyrene planes plus whatever the latest sticker craze was. Other favourites of mine included Colin’s card shop which stocked all the great small toys like water pistols, water balloons, cap guns and those paper bangers that you throw on the floor. I’ve not smelt the smell of a cap gun for years!

I also recall a model shop being down the bottom of Hope Street, maybe where the sandwich shop is now. They stocked building kits for radio controlled cars, model dinosaurs, latex masks of celebrities and all-sorts, can’t for the life of my remember what it was called. It was a fantastic shop though.

then who you would buy your tickets from, a lady named Bessie if my memory serves me correctly. I can remember the excitement of seeing the old escalators that took you down into the heart of the Newgate Centre to do your shopping at Fine Fare (which is of course Wilkinson’s now). Back then Bishop Auckland was always really busy and had lots big name retailers plus smaller independent shops on the high street.

Some of my favourite back then included WH Smith’s, John Menzies, Woolworth’s which were always great places for toys, books and magazines, all of these shops seemed so much bigger when you were small!

Once we were done shopping we would always sit in Carrick’s café and bakery where my treat of choice was always a Peach Melba. We would wait in here for either the next bus or for my Granda to pick us up. Eventually Carrick’s was taken over by The Baker’s Oven chain which was subsequently taken over by Gregg’s. The café now sits empty like a lot of shops in Newgate street as big names opt for out of town retail parks rather than the traditional high street. These places have given me lots of fond memories to look back on, I wonder what shops will stick in my own children’s minds when they are older.

As much as I loved Crook the absolute Mecca for shopping was always Bishop Auckland in the 1980s. I remember going to Bishop with my Mam, Nanna and Granda on Friday afternoons, around the time that the Newgate Centre was being finished off. My Granda would drop us off then pick us back up when we were done. When he wasn’t so well I also remember going on the blue Bonds bus, they still used a bus conductor back 16
