A Family Night at Newcastle Eagles
It’s amazing what can happen in a year. I’ve gone from a hater of sports to a lover of Basketball. Watching such a fast-paced game is entertaining and can be exhilarating. Over 2017 I think we have been to see 5 home games of Newcastle Eagles and every time we’ve seen them win. We’re sort of like…

Newcastle Castle : The Gateway to Old Newcastle
Hard to believe that for my 34 years on this planet I’ve never visited Newcastle Castle. Must have walked or passed it on the Metro, heading into town hundred of times.
