The Maltings Theatre & Cinema has announced a very special event to celebrate the contribution of chief executive Dr Miles Gregory, who steps down in December to move abroad with his family to New Zealand.

This Autumn, people in North Northumberland will have the chance to quite literally make their own mark on history. A national scheme marking the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible is offering the chance to create a very 21st century cyber bible - and Berwick has been chosen as one of the staging posts for this important project.

The People's Bible is exactly what is says, it is written for the people by the people. Anyone will be able to write at least selected two verses using digital pens in the specially created cyberpods which will be in Berwick Town Hall on Sunday 30th October and Monday 31st October. Their verses will be available to see both on-line and later in a published version creating a unique legacy for future generations.

The People's Bible began its tour in Edinburgh in June and already a host of famous names have added their own contribution including HRH Prince Charles, Television Presenters Aled Jones and Sally Magnussen and actor Sir Timothy West.

The project, a joint venture between Bible Society in England and Wales and the Scottish Bible Society, is currently touring through shopping centres, supermarket carparks and venues across the country. When it stops in Berwick, residents will have the chance to add to their own personalised passages to those of thousands of people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs.

The reason Berwick has been chosen as one of the stopping points is thanks to Belford resident Ann Tunnard and her daughter Felicity Sweeney from Coldstream. They heard about the project and approached the organisers. Ann comments, "We were delighted when the People's Bible agreed to come to Berwick. The King James Bible is still one of the world's most important books and this is a great chance for people to contribute to a piece of national and perhaps even international history."

Now in its fourth year, this year's Berwick Food Festival promises to be a feast for all the senses. On Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th September at the town's historic Barracks, visitors will be able to taste local produce, touch newly spun wool, smell the mouth watering aromas in the demo kitchen, see heritage breed animals, hear great music and much more.

Festival Director Lisa Wilson says: " We have tried to offer something that will appeal to all the local community and the many people who spend their holidays in Berwick. Once again the festival has only been made possible by people giving up an enormous amount of time and I would like to thank Graham Head and the Slow Food committee, English Heritage, Berwick Events Group and all our suppliers, stall holders, sponsors and volunteers. This year's festival will see some activities back by popular demand as well as plenty of new things to see and do."

In a unique collaboration, this year's Berwick Food Festival will combine both food and film. Bringing together the Berwick Food Festival on 10th & 11th September and the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival on 23-25 September, there will be two Food on Film screenings at The Maltings Theatre and Cinema and a mini Slow Food cinema on the festival site itself.

The screenings at the Maltings Theatre in Berwick-upon-Tweed will include Babette's Feast which will be shown on Thursday 8th September at 8.00pm and a special showing of the popular children's film Ratatouille at 10.30am on Sunday 11th September. And for those who keep their ticket stubs from either film, there will also be free entrance in to the food festival.

Government cuts have put economic recovery firmly on the shoulders of the private sector, however sourcing capital is becoming increasingly hard for small and medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs.

So, a seminar being organised in Berwick upon Tweed aims to assist these businesses and individuals and is being hailed as a match made in venture capital heaven. The "Business Angels and Venture Capital - What's Happening Locally?" seminar, will demonstrate the real world of venture capitalism.

The objective is to bring together the 'angels', those private investors and high net worth individuals looking for tax efficient investment opportunities with businesses. This includes both companies who have the seed of a business idea and are looking for the funds to germinate it, and established businesses seeking additional capital to further develop their business.

Real ale drinkers will be flocking to Berwick-upon-Tweed from September 10th-12th for the town's third annual Beer Festival. Organised by Reston based DM Event catering as part of the annual Berwick Food Festival, they have put together one of the best ranges of beers ever seen in one bar at the same time. Festival visitors will be able to sample 35 real ales and 5 ciders including Castle Rock Harvest Pale voted 2010 Champion Beer of Britain at this year's Great British Beer Festival.

This year's Berwick Food Festival (September 11-12) will be brimming with local produce from North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. And for those in need some inspiration on what to do with their purchases, top chefs from the region's restaurants will be on hand with some inspirational ideas.

Although differing in style, all the chefs share a love of local food and come from restaurants will a strcit local sourcing policy.
