@Mark JThat magazine was issued randomly mid 60's to late 80's. My wife has a couple but they don't really have much in them. I've found a few photo's of some pre mid 90's stuff we built that I'll email you. As I mentioned in an earlier 'mail, Hugh himself may have some photos stashed away somewhere.

@Dave Cordes I have sent you an email. I did get a document celebrating 50 years of Welwyn 1937 to 1987, but nothing else so far

@Dave Cordes - if you whish to tag a member so that they are notified then you can use the @ before the members name. The tag only works when you start with the @ followed by the members name and selecting the full name from the list that the system throws up eg @M and the system will give the names and then you select the name you want :- @M and you will get @Mark J

Mark, had no reply yet. Did you source what you need elsewhere?

I've contacted Mark via email.

@Mark J I keep checking this topic annd my posting of your comment on thr Bygone Bedlington(BB) gtoup. There are no new posts on the BB group but I will leave it open and let you know if antone else comes up with something that may help your Have you and @Dave Cordes passed info to each other? And Has Teresa Charlton or her dad emailed you with any info? Alan

@Mark J this is what @Dave Cordes posted on the Bygone Bedlington group :-

@Mark J I have sent you a private messgae via the service in this group = envelope in the top right hand corder of your screen.

Hi Mark, you should be getting some info' forwarded from the post on Bygone Bedlington FB group as I worked closely with Hugh. I've a few photos of older Electronic stuff I was involved with ranging from old Taiwanese winders on which we changed the control systems and converted the feed system to handle much finer wire (Hugh's design). The "Magic Roundabout" in question may have been a twin turreted rig for making fuse cards for Fiat lorries - but there were several things we did that involved a single turret. Hope your dad's OK!??!

Blimey, Dr Kirby & IBM computer, they're blasts from the past. As for John Storey, I was an apprentice '66 to '72 and can only remember him from the earlier years in the Tech' block.

Posted a screen shot of your initial comment on the Bygone Bedlington group and I will copy any replies that may help you into this topic.

Just playing around with AI Alan..............

@Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) that would be great if you can post this and see if anything comes back. Much appreaciated

Yep you will have to start from scratch and invite all your friends to the new account. The advrts are a paiin but normally by reloading the page via the circle with arrowhead on at the top left the adverts sometimes stop - but unfortunately not always. However if you visit one of the groups , eg. Bygone Bedlington the latest advert(s) are blocked out and when you go back to your hame page the advert(s) should have gone

@Mark J searched on the FB group Bygone Bedlington and the only postings on the group about the Welwyn are group photos of office parties among the female workers, What if I screen shot your first comment and posted that on the Bygone Bedlington site and see what response it gets?

Hi Folks,I created another account using my gmail address..but it isn't the same..it's all Daily Express news articles..mainly Stamer and Migrant subjects..all my long lost and regained family and friends have been taken away from me.FB keep saying they have reviewed my content and it still doesn't meet their "Community Standards"..well,there is no way I can edit my posts to delete those that breached their standards.So it seems permanent.It's all run by AI robots...impossible to speak to a human...that is the annoying thing.Cheers!

Welcome to the group @Mark J Although everyone in Bedlington would have known of the Welwyn and people who worked there there has been very little mention on the facotry and staff that I can remember or find photos of. If you select the Gallery section of this group and enter the one word - Welwyn - into the search box at the far right of the screen you will get a link to every comment that has been made that contains the word Welwyn. @loopylou created an album - Welwyn Photos - in the Gallery section but there are only three photos that she had fond in her family home but no info with the photos and neither of them were taken inside the factory. I knowm there are a couple of ex Welwyn workkers who use the Facebook (FB) group, Bygone Bedlington, but I can't remember many photos having been posted within that group. I will havve a search of the FB group and see what I can find and if there is anything that fits what you are looking for I wil ask those that posted the info if it's ok to share with this group.
