Local Democracy Week is an annual celebration of the difference that citizens are making in local places across Kirklees. It’s a way of helping people to get involved in their community, learn about democracy and have a voice in the decisions that really matter for our everyday lives. There are activities and events throughout October, including opportunities to share your story and to say how you feel about getting involved in your community.
Celebrate 70 years of Scouting in Newsome with a look at old photos and memorabilia. Then enjoy a pint or two at our inaugural beer festival. 16 real ales, Thatcher’s cider and a glass of wine if you prefer. There’ll also be a pizza oven doing freshly cooked pizzas on the Friday and Saturday evening. It couldn’t get any better, oh yes it can with an Umpah Band on Friday night and the University Big Band on Saturday. If that’s not enough you can feel angelic as you sip your pint as you’ll be raising funds for an International Trip for young people in our area.
Friday 12th to Sunday 14th May 2023 at Newsome Scout HQ, Newsome Road South HD4 6JJ
We’ll also be showing Eurovision if you want to watch – but if not, the Scout Hall is big enough to avoid it.
