Youth Club
Buckland Newton Youth Club is a new
initiative run voluntarily by villagers
for the young people of the village. It
aims to provide a safe and stimulating
environment for 11-16 year olds to
meet, relax and have the opportunity to
join in a variety of structured activities
including music sessions, film nights,
bake-offs and sport events. The club
will also endeavour to foster strong
links with all age groups within the
village through organising special
events for the community.
Buckland Newton Youth Club meets on a Tuesday evening between
18.30 and 20.00 in Buckland Newton Village Hall, during term time. If
you have or are a young person who would like to join Buckland
Newton Youth Club, you must be in Yrs 6 - Yr 12 from Buckland
Newton and the surrounding parishes, and is run by local volunteers .
Some additional help to run the Buckland Newton Youth Club is
needed. Could you help? Please get in touch with Kate Parish on
07860 582362 / 01300 345497 or e-mail

The summer term is always a lovely one with Buckland Newton Youth Club
as the weather and the amazing outdoor activities provide a wealth of
opportunities and experiences for young people.
It was a beautiful evening to go kayaking at Castle Cove with Weymouth
Outdoor Education Centre. 12 young people were able to take part,
although I'm not sure how much time they spent in their kayaks, there was
a lot of jumping off and on them!
On Tuesday 20 June everyone enjoyed the annual solstice walk to Cerne
Abbas, including a number of parents. As usual we stopped at the rope
swing just off the high road for a picnic tea and plenty of time for lots of
goes on the swing.
Our next adventure will be an evening on Weymouth Beach which will be
followed by a family camp out on the Parish Field. Incredibly we shall also
be welcoming the Yr 5s (next year's Yr 6s) to an evening with the Youth
Club at the beginning of July to give them of taste of what they can expect
over the next few years they will be with us.
