Knit & Knatter Group
This group began more or less as a joke, we now have a regular group of people who meet fortnightly to enjoy a cup or tea, knitting and knattering. Behind this enjoyable afternoon is a more serious purpose as we are knitting hats, mitts and scarves for the Samaritian's Purse Shoe Box Appeal and last year we sent over 110 boxes from our Church fully packed and the surplus scarves etc., were sent separately to be added to other boxes. So if you can knit even if you cannot, but can knatter and wrap boxes you are more than welcome to come and join us.
Bedlington Colliery Methodist Church
Weekly Events
The Choir
The main objective of the choir is to enhance the worship during Sunday services and for this purpose we meet on Mondays at 7.30pm for practice.
We also give concerts (both secular and religious) and provide special music for specific church festivals such as Easter and Christmas. On these occasions we invite friends from outside the church and from other churches to join with us which enables us to provide a more diverse and interesting selection of music. This we find most rewarding and would welcome anyone who is interested and can sing in tune to join us.
Womens Fellowship
The Women's Fellowship meets on a Monday once a fortnight and women have been meeting for over 80 years. At the present time we have a membership of sixteen with some friends from Stakeford joining us. We meet regularly each fortnight and have speakers and I think you could say that we are truly ecumenical as these speakers often include Anglican ministers and Salvation Army officers.
Age Concern Luncheon Club
The Luncheon Club restarted in January 2010 but numbers have been a lot less than when we had to finish back in September 2008. Those who have returned are enjoying a lovely meal each Tuesday as well as getting together for a chat and friendship.
Badminton Club
Badminton is played on Tuesday nights at 7.00pm in the Church Hall. We enjoy our games and the refreshments during the evening. It is a mixed group, with ages ranging from 14 to the more mature.
Anyone is welcome to join us either for some light exercise or good company, (even a bit of both).
Parent & Toddler Group
We are a parent and toddler group that meets weekly on a Thursday morning between 9.15am and 11.30am. Children are welcome from any age up to three years.

Rambling Group
The Rambling Group continues to ramble - although, because of the severe weather, we did not meet very often in the winter. However, we all enjoyed our snowdrop and primrose walks and the rambles are a great social occasion to attend as ever.
