Newington Village Festival will be held on Saturday, July 16, on the school field (noon-7pm) and surrounding villages are being encouraged to enter the annual tug-of-war tournament.
Gather your mates together and form a team of 8-10 people for the tournament. Apart from having some fun taking part, you could win the trophy that is currently held by the Three Tuns, Lower Halstow.

With a little help from you, this year's festival can be even more successful and raise even more money for Demelza Children's Hospice and the village school.
Among the other attractions will be a medieval re-enactment camp and fight display, live bands, dance displays, funfair, sideshows and stalls.

Newington is now one of the largest festivals of its kind in Swale, but that means it needs a lot of people to help retain its continued success.
The family friendly festival is organised by parish councillors and willing helpers, but it could do with more people to volunteer an hour, two or three on the day.
