The Walk The Wight Festival is on again this year and if you have ever wanted to 'Walk The Wight' - but feared the hills would stop you in your tracks - the Flat Walk is for you. This 8 mile sponsored walk is perfect for people of all ages, wheelchair users and parents with prams.

The Friends of Northwood Cemetery would like to make up a team of walkers for this Flat Walk. If you are interested ,and would like more details, please email Angela McMurtry on angelamciow@talktalk.net or ring her on 01983 295729.

You have to register online before 30th April at www.iwhospice.org/WTW and nominate the Friends of Northwood Cemetery as the team you represent.
We intend that all of our walkers will be kitted out with a shirt incorporating the Friends of Northwood Cemetery logo - so that we promote ourselves!

As and as when events are commencing this page will be updated.

REPORT OF RECENT EVENTS

Quiz Night

Our second, and even more successful, Quiz Night took place on Friday 22nd January at the Kingston Arms where 56 people pitted their wits against curly questions posed by Jackie Hunt, our hostess for the evening

Teams from Cowes Rotary (in fact two and a half teams!), the RNLI, the Isle of Wight Family History Society, Cowes Heritage, the Archaeology Department of the IW Council, Cowes Carnival, the Isle of Wight Society, Northwood Parish Council, and the Kingston Arms attended along with a few more teams made up of individuals,

Congratulations go to them, and to everyone who took part in a fun, enjoyably chaotic, evening.

Over £150 was raised for the Friends of Northwood Cemetery.

Reigning supreme on the night was the team from Cowes Heritage (pictured) consisting of David & Win Jones (left) and Brian & Christine Broom (right) (some people were heard to call them professional bandits!).
