LAST Sunday there was a great gathering in St Oswin’s Church hall to celebrate what had been achieved for this year’s WaterAid Ethiopia Project – almost £7,500.
The soup lunch was much appreciated, as was the choir from Wylam First School which charmed the assembly, singing African response chants and songs written for WaterAid by Richard Stilgoe and first school teacher Helen Bennett.

AN APPRECIATIVE audience of nearly 50 adults and children watched Shrek the Third at the children's film club on Saturday.
Due to the success of the trial two more films are booked for the last Saturdays in April and May – all at 2pm in Wylam Institute – Toystory 2 on April 25 and newly released Madagascar 2 on May 30.
