On Tuesday 27th March at 7:30pm in Bishop Auckland Town Hall, John Clare, local councillor and former teacher at Greenfield is speaking at the Bishop Auckland Civic Society on the History of Newton Aycliffe – ‘The Last 12,000 Years’.  You can get tickets (which cost £2) online here: bit.ly/HOABACS or by phoning 03000 269524.
The history of Newton Aycliffe is amazing – with new things being discovered all the time – and John promises to be interesting!  So he hopes people will be able to attend to hear about our town’s inspiring story.
“Some people have asked me why I am giving this talk in Bishop Auckland, not Newton Aycliffe.  The answer is that they asked me.  If you run a group and want me to tell you about the wonderful history of Aycliffe, just ask – and I’ll do it for free!  The more people who know and appreciate what a thrilling heritage we have, the happier I’ll be.” said John.
