MORE than six months after the popular Newt Beer Festival, people in North Newton are still reaping the benefits of the fun event.

This week, youngsters at the village's Little Steps Pre-School were thrilled to be presented with a new computer, bought through cash raised by the event.

Festival committee members Frank Clegg and Emma Robbens this week handed over the new kit to playgroup leaders Helen Barham and Marcia Cook, watched by the grateful youngsters.
