Newton Newts (Wine Club)
homes and are open to anyone from the village.
Guests are most welcome but for reasons of security must be introduced to the group by a village
resident.
Everyone is asked to bring nibbles which can range from a packet of crisps to delicious home-
made aperitifs.
The host/hostess will provide two bottles each of a selection of six wines to taste and score. The cost of
the wines is then divided by the number of people attending, so the more the merrier!
The cost per person therefore varies from £2 to normally not more than £5. The number of members
attending usually varies between 10 and 20. A box of wine glasses is available if hosts don’t
have sufficient for those numbers.
An evening of convivial company, no driving, nice wines and a huge supper for an average cost of £3.50.
Club meeting nights / tastings are advertised in the village newsletter, Newton News.

On Friday 18 September, thirty friends and neighbours squeezed into
Phoenix House for a jolly evening of
socializing, wine tasting and eating.
As usual, No 6 scored the most points – Cambalala Stellenbosch Shiraz from South Africa. The rather
tenuous link between the wines was that they all began with ‘S’. By the way, for those that prefer
non alcoholic drinks, there are always alternatives on offer.
The table was filled with delicious nibbles and everyone tucked in with enthusiasm. A good mix of old and
new faces including Bill and Jennifer from Lindale Holiday Park who regularly come to Village Hall events.
Sylvia Tate has offered to host the next Newton Newts at her home, Turtles Place, Station Road on Friday
20th November at 7.30 pm.
