A SCHEME has been devised to prevent organisations' activities in Sedgefield village clashing.

Sedgefield Community Association, in conjunction with the Business Forum, plans to establish a village events calendar, published yearly with quarterly updates.

Members are appealing to organisations, groups and businesses to provide them with information for the calendar on their regular meetings, special events or anything they wish to publicise.

The information should be sent to association secretary Councillor John Robinson, who said that items could be registered at any time.

He said: "There will always be an up-to-date copy available, both in Ceddesfeld Hall and in the town council offices. It is also hoped it will be available on town council information boards shortly to be installed around the village."

He said the information would also be available on village websites.
