Happy New Year! And what a year it's starting to be, it couldn't be more different from 2011, not a snowflake in sight! We hope that we will be seeing a lot of you in 2012 and are starting with walks, music and lunch (of course, we are, after all, Newcomers...). One of the activities this year is walking Offa's Dyke, so that should get us on the right track for a healthy new year. Let's see

It's silly season again! In the sense that we'll have more parties than you can throw a hat at; we've had Halloween, looking forward to Thanksgiving if you're coming from over the Atlantic and Sinterklaas if you had to cross the North Sea to get here. And that's just for starters because the 'biggie' is of course Christmas. This year, instead of having the usual dinner, we are looking to

Since the brilliant 20th Anniversary Dinner Dance at Llyndir Hall, we've enjoyed a Heritage walk around pretty Northop Village, several Newcomers walked much further one weekend completing the Sandstone Trail (c 40 miles !), we've had a Sunday lunch, a Pub night and the monthly Coffee mornings. We'll be planning theatre trips and film nights once people are back from holidays. We've also welcomed

Yep, it has been 20 years this year since the first meeting of Newcomers to Chester was held. So much has happened since then, so many members have joined and moved on, or, as in Pat and David Pawson's case, have stayed in Chester. Pat is one of the founder members and she remembers it well and over the next weeks, we'll publish some of her memories here. Discreetly of course... But in the mean

One of our most consistent activities, throughout the years, has always been the film night. Changing in format, as the organisers changed, this has proved to be an outing that most of our members have enjoyed. One of our recent members was kind enough to write his thoughts after having seen 'London River', a film which charts the search of two people, trying to locate their children after the

I don't know what Campion would have thought about having his name show up in a blog but where better to pay tribute to our ever dedicated treasurer than here, the NTC blog. Campion died on Tuesday evening, 5th October 2010 and left us sad but with many good memories of a kind and courteous man, always interested in what went on around him - especially if it had anything to do with the arts or

A quick post because, following a visit to the cinama last night, I thought we should mention what's on offer in our fair city! One of our regular outings is to the cinema and we are lucky to have two venues to see the latest releases; the Vue at Cheshire Oaks and the Cineworld at Sealand Road. If you want to go further afield, a full listing of all the local venues can be found following this

I promised a more regular update of this blog, so let's not fall at the first hurdle. On Tuesday night, a select group of Newcomers made it to the Cock-o-Barton and had a very enjoyable evening. This is not a blog about restaurants, so don't worry, I'm not going to give you the full low-down on the meal. Instead I wanted to flag up for those who haven't ventured outside Chester much, - and this

Hmmm, haven't been very active on the Blog front, this is about to change! We are still very much alive and with, as somebody so kindly pointed out to me today, the nights drawing in, we will be organising many events. We have already posted some activities in the right hand column and will be updating this on a regular basis. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know!

Since November we've enjoyed a number of events including a splendid Christmas celebration dinner at Mitchells in Tattenhall, a January trip to the Theatr Clwyd Pantomime - a great mix of laughter and rock songs - and in February a very interesting slide show/talk on Chester by an official tour guide, as well as the regular coffee mornings, film nights and pub evenings.The next Coffee Morning is

In October, Newcomers got together to raise money for the Macmillan Cancer Support organisation. We were very happy to welcome quite a few non members, some of whom might actually come back to see us again! Everybody made a big effort and we are happy to say that over £200 was raised on the day. As agreed, we are matching this amount so this year, we will be contributing over £400 to this

Where better to see fireworks than over the river, comfortably seated and enjoying some excellent food and company! On Guy Fawkes night, there will be an opportunity of doing just that, in the Red House restaurant. So if you want to come along, don't wait to long to let us know!

Every year, Newcomers joins in the national effort to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. This year, we want to make an extra effort and have pledged that, whatever amount is raised on the day, the organisation will match! So every pound you collect, donate or spend on goods will be matched to make it £2 for the charity!!Please come and support us, we can be found, as usual, in the Cheshire

Bodelwyddan Castle was the object of a recent visit by some of our members.The history of the house and estate extends to before 1460, though the association with the Williams family dates from around 1690. The Castle as seen today is a creation of Sir John Hay Williams dating from between 1830 and 1852. Architects Hansom and Welch were employed by Sir John to refurbish and extend the house while

MacMillan SupportEach year, Newcomers to Chester organises an event in aid of the MacMillan Cancer Support organisation. This year, we'll be raising money on 21th October, when we'll have our monthly meeting. A lot of effort is going into organising this, so please come along and bring a friend! Bring 10 friends!! If you have any suggestions or can donate something, please get in touch. See you

We haven't been to the cinema for some time, so when I saw this film, I thought this might be of interest to other Newcomers as well: Man on Wire by James Marsh. This is a documentary, detailing the exploits of wire walker Philippe Petit, who, in 1974, spent 45 minutes balancing, dancing and lying on a wire, strung between the Twin Towers in New York.

This week, we got together in the recently re-opened pub in Handbridge; The Ship Inn. The Ship had been boarded up for 3 years, so it is nice to see it open its doors again to the public. The place has been completely renovated and has a modern (but not too modern, for the purists under us) feel to it. This is not a forum where we discuss locations per se, however, I think it fair to say that we

I am very happy to say that our morning meetings at the Cheshire Cat are proving to be very popular. So much so, that we have decided to also go there one evening per month, to enable those, who would like to know more about Newcomers but can't come to any day time activities, to meet up with us. Our first evening will be on Thursday, 9 April 2009, from 7:00pm onwards. We have organised a large

It has been a while since the blog has been updated but we're back on track! So what has been happening lately? To name but a few things, there was the evening at the Red House and the skittles tournament at the Bickerton Poacher, which brought most NtC members together in February. Both events drew enthusiastic reviews from those who attended and we hope to organise more events like this soon.

The date for the next book club has been changed from November 10th to November 17th. There we will be discussing The Twins by Tessa DeLoo. We hope to see current and new book club members!

This month's book club met and discussed The Way the Crow Flies by Annmarie McDonald. The book was surprising enjoyed by all even though it was over 700 pages (small print)! We definitely recommend this read. At this meeting, we also decided which books we are going to read for the next four months and what dates we are going to meet.For September we will be reading Cold Comfort Farm by Stella

The next meeting of the book club will be on July 7th. We are reading The Way the Crow Flies, by Annmarie McDonald. It is 700+ pages, so if you are not ready to pick it up and read from now until the 7th, join us anyway. At this meeting, we will be picking the books for the next several months. So come join us for a fun discussion (about the book and everything else), wine, treats and great

A group of us dressed in our raincoats carrying umbrellas descended upon the lovely town of Llangollen on June 25th for a day out. First we visited Plas Newydd, home of the "Ladies of Llangollen"; two runaways from Ireland who moved to the idyllic location of North Wales to live the remainder of their lives together in peace and romantic friendship. The house and grounds were beautiful and we

On Writing the Book Thief:The Book Thief was supposed to be a small book - only a hundred pages or so. When I was growing up, I heard stories at home about Munich and Vienna in war-time, when my parents were children. Two stories my mother told me affected me a lot. The first was about Munich being bombed, and how the sky was on fire, how everything was red. The second was about something else

We had a wonderful evening at the Alyn Pub, situated on the banks of the River Alyn just over the Wales border. The view was beautiful and the food and company were great as well. As the weather gets nice (and stays that way we hope), come join us for our next pub evening...hopefully some of it spent outdoors.

On Tuesday evening a group of us ventured to the cinema to view the latest and greatest film, the fourth Indiana Jones movie. While the plot was thin, the action sequences were not, so the film was enjoyed by all. Recommended if you want to see another Indiana Jones movie. If you are looking for the next Gone With the Wind, maybe try something else! See you next month!

We had a wonderful gathering for our last potluck lunch. Even the weather held out so we could eat and enjoy the sun outside in the beautiful garden. We had a nice turn-out and great food. See you at the next potluck lunch!

Bunco Evening on Wednesday was a rousing success! Unfortunately we had to compete with the ManU/Chelsea Football game, so attendance was on the low side, but those who did attend had a great time! Betty and Len walked out with prizes for winner and loser for the evening (one family with both ends of the spectrum). There was a lot of laughs and cheers during the evening. We have decided to

We had a great coffee morning this morning with quite a few members attending. We even had two new faces in the crowd....welcome! Those of you who couldn't make it; we missed you and hope to see you at the next coffee morning.We held a raffle which will actually take place next month. We sold 5 tickets for 1GBP and more will be available at the next coffee morning when we will actually draw for

by Jed Rubenfeld was discussed last night at the book club. Most everyone enjoyed the book and thought the author did a great job keeping us interested in several different but intertwining stories throughout the novel. Conversation was enlightening and grew ever more so as the evening wore on. Several bottles of wine and lots of delicious food was also consumed! Next month we will be reading

Several of us gathered together last Friday for a Pot Luck lunch. Our hostess was amazing and made a fantastic apple tarte tartin, which was out of this world. We braved the slightly chilly temperatures and sat outside until the lack of sun and a slight wind forced us indoors. The food from all was wonderful and the conversation even better. Let's hope the next pot luck lunch has us greeting

A group of 15 of us ventured to Mold on Monday night to see Macbeth at the Clwyd Theatr Cymru. It was a fantastic rendition of the famous Shakespeare play! We were all so involved in the acting that we didn't even notice we sat still for 1 hour and 45 minutes (there was no intermission). A great time was had by all.

A few of us headed up to Manchester for the morning to check out the latest new exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry; Bodyworlds by Gunther van Hagens. It was a very educational experience for us all. If you have not been, we recommend it to those who are interested. Gunther van Hagens found a way to "plasticate" bodies and body parts so that we can see them without the effects of
