:) Hi there to all fellow Bedlingtonians - I would like to take the opportunity, if I may, to let you all know about a new Charity website being launched by a few local people aimed at promoting awareness as to the lack of sports and leisure facilities in and around Wansbeck, but more so Bedlington. www.clix4kids.co.uk is a concept which has been borne out of the minds of a few disgruntled, disillusioned, annoyed, frustrated Bedlington people whose kids quite simply have no where local to participate in sports and leisure activities. Bedlington IS the poor relation - we pay our council taxes and in return, OUR KIDS GET NOTHING!

Our Mission Statement, Aims and Objectives and Targets are posted on our website but, in a nutshell, we aim to:

1) Create a local awareness of the lack of sports and leisure facilities for the whole community in the Wansbeck Area

2) Promote the well-being of our local community by way of the provision of sports and leisure facilities

3) Develop a strategic plan with the overall objective of raising finance for the provision of sports and leisure facilities in Wansbeck

We aim to raise finance by way of website affiliate marketing, local business advertising and sponsorship. The charity will be run BY LOCAL PEOPLE, FOR LOCAL PEOPLE and will be NON-FOR-PROFIT.

We have already approached the local schools in the area with an opportunity to enter our competition to design our charity logo and hope to involve as many younsgsters and their families as possible.

We would like as many people as possible to register on our site as soon as possible as this is vital to the future success of the charity. Only by PEOPLE PRESSURE will our friends at Wansbeck Council and Northumberland County Council sit up and take notice when we say we are SERIOUS in doing something about the future of OUR COMMUNITY, OUR KIDS.

Registering for the site is easy - just as it is with your site www.bedlington.co.uk

We hope that in the near future, our respective sites may have links to each others site as this can only be good for the community of Bedlington and Wansbeck as a whole.

We hope that you people of Bedlington and Wansbeck will jump on board with us. Also, if you have any suggestions, ideas, comments, meassages of support etc etc. for us, get on our forum on the site. This is YOUR CHANCE, YOUR VOICE - we hope that you'll join us.

Many thanks

Phil (chuckieboy)

sounds like a grand plan, but will WDC ever listen?

i went to WDC last year with a proposal for a music venture aimed towards the kids in the town; an organisation had been set up, money had been raised for equipment and volunteers were ready... only problem? sustaining money for a premises for the short term... all i asked for was a few hours a week of time in somewhere like the community centre, and in return the council would have a cracking project working with 20+ kids per week... the answer? get the money yourself...

and now? the kids are still hanging around up the street while le community centre lies empty...

Hi, the plan WILL work because already we have had many, many people who are fully supportive of the idea (including you by the sounds of it). Let's be honest, by registering on the forum, it costs nothing. However, once our affiliated websites are up and running on the site, and more importantly people are looking at them and using them, finance will start to be raised. For too long now (probably going back longer than our lifetimes) the people of Bedlington have complained about the lack of sports and leisure facilities in the town, yet nothing has happened. We complain amongst each other that our kids have nothing, yet nothing has happened because we haven't stood up as A COMMUNITY and said to the powers that be that we demand action. Why should Blyth, Cramlington, Morpeth, Ashington, Newbiggin have it all?? It's time for change, we can do it together - tell everyone you know to register on the forum and MAKE IT HAPPEN. If we have one BIG voice rather than many small ones, it will happen. Cheers

Ice-T's early work, the albums "Rhyme Pays" and "Power" can be safely ignored. It is only with "The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say" that the Iceman truly found his voice.

The gun-toting malevolence of "Peel their caps back", the risque humour of "The girl tried to kill me" and the angry political edge of the Jello Biafra collaboration on the title track signalled the arrival of a major new player in the world of hip hop.

Ice-T's undisputed masterpiece, however, is 1991's "OG: Original Gangster". An essential part of any rap fan's collection, this lyrical tour de force set the standard for the "Gangsta Rap" genre which was to dominate the hip hop scene throughout the 1990s. Including stone cold classics such as "Bitches2", "Straight up !*!@#", "Body Count", "Midnight", "New Jack Hustler" and "Lifestyles of the rich and infamous", this was Ice's finest hour.

You can pick up this urban meisterwerk for about a fiver in record shops today. Make sure that you do.

Peace.

You forgot to mention "Midnight". Apart from that, an excellent summary.

:lol: Thanks to everyone who has registered on www.clix4kids.co.uk who are members of this forum. You may well have seen the article on Page 2 of the News Post Leader for Thursday 4th May which outlines the goals of the charity and what we hope to be able to provide for Bedlington and surrounding areas in the future. There are already a number of household named website links on the site such as Amazon, Argos and That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds with more to come in the near future - by making purchases or bids through our website, the community as a whole will benefit in the future - so if you already use these websites, go through our link instead as it doesn't cost you anymore. We already have the support of the majority of schools in our area so hopefully, the site will take off. So, if you have registered thanks, if you haven't - please do. Cheers :D

Whatever happened to this organisation?

It seems, like everything in Wansbeck, it was a good idea at the time but then it was completely forgotten about?

And I spent a whole afternoon designing logos with my class for their competition. Hmmm...
