Newtonhill & District Village Association

The deadline for receipt of articles and ads for the June Skateraw Fair Special Edition Newsey is looming and no articles or news from village groups has been received. Any articles should be emailed to delamitri11@hotmail.com. Any businesses wishing to place ads should do the same. All news articles for village groups are printed free of charge, and business ads start at £10 for 1/4 A5 page in black and white up to £48 for a full colour page.

Congratulations to Eileen Murray - winner of the 200 Club Draw for May

Please note that we have removed the chat forum from the website. Unfortunately it has become impossible to manage due to computer programmes which crawl the internet creating false accounts on forums such as ours, with the result that we had to manually check all applications for new accounts, and delete the false ones, which were arriving at approximately one every 15 minutes. All chat will now take place on our Facebook page, however the Website will stay, as it is a valuable repository for village information.

The NVA exisits to create and maintain a sense of community in this unique coastal area of Kincardineshire. All residents of Newtonhill and East and West Cammachmore are automatically members and are welcome to attend meetings to raise community issues or help in organising a range of social events.

Annually the NVA organises a senior citizens party, a firework display, Bells at the Bettridge, the Skateraw Fair (last Sat in June) and the Santa Run. The NVA maintains this website, produces a handbook of village group detail and other useful information and produces and distributes the Newsey newsletter 3-4 times a year.

These efforts are supported by advertisers, sponsors and proceeds from the NVA 200 club. Everyone can join in that support by becoming a member of the 200 club for £1 per entry per month. An application form can be downloaded from the website. A draw takes place at our monthly meeting with a prize of half of that month's income to the winner.

Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of most months at 8pm in the Newton Arms Lounge or Skateraw Hall with the AGM in October, all are welcome. You can also join the NVA's volunteer army at:

A copy of the current constitution is attached.

Lastly, if you wish to use the forum and get a Username, its recommended you either send an email to webmaster@newtonhill.org.uk with your name, postal address or use your name as the login name and a non free webmail email address. People who try to get access with names like "Big Bob" with an email address at gmail/yahoo/hotmail will likely be deleted, drop the webmaster a line to arrange if you have any queries - we are here to help. Please note that like any publication there is no privacy on this site and anyone's email address is public and will be discussed by the committee.
