Happy Birthday Newport!

Our Chairman Cormac raised the Newport 300 flag today, and rang the church bell at 3pm to mark the 300th anniversary of the signing of a lease between Thomas Meddlicott and Captain John Pratt which led to the founding of Newport town.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions we could not join Cormac for this special occasion, but photographer Ed Reid managed to capture the moment (from a safe 2 metre distance at all times!)
