Meeting
Clive Moon has put together some excellent plans for the Country meeting
in Hexham 2005. The meeting would be held in Trinity Methodist church
in Hexham, just across the road from the Abbey, a large hall capable of
accommodating over 100 people. Tea & cakes would be available prior
to the business meeting.
Evening event
For the evening the plan is that it should be held at Ridley Hall, 11
miles west of Hexham (near Bardon Mill). Ridley Hall could also provide
reasonable accommodation for up to 65 people. The event, which would start
at 19.30, would make full use of the beautiful grounds of Ridley Hall
and would also include a barbecue & music. It is proposed that a coach
could provide transport between Hexham and Ridley Hall for those staying
in Hexham. A local pub would run a real ale bar.
Accommodation
Ridley Hall, as mentioned above, can provide reasonably priced B&B
accommodation (£18.50 per person per night) for up to 70 people.
The Hall is a grand building, with large oak panelled rooms on the ground
floor, and impressive staircase, a full size snooker table, rooms appropriate
for handbell ringing, and 27 acres of beautiful grounds. Camping within
the grounds is also a possibility. It is adjacent to Allen Banks, a National
Trust owned wooded gorge. More information about Ridley Hall can be found
at www.ridleyhall.com and more
pictures of the grounds can be found at www.growability.co.uk

In addition to this there is a wide range of guest house and hotel accommodation and camping and caravanning sites in and around Hexham and full details of these could be provided
