No snow on the forum this year i look forward to it when i am blistering in the Aussie heat at this time of year

Hi Eggy. I'm just sharing the news as it is available. There is no further info from Active Northumberland. I'll update the article if I hear more.

Andy the link in your post does take you to the Active Northumberland site but the Sporting Club of Bedlington still shows :- SPORTING CLUB BEDLINGTON - OPENING SOON ACTIVE NORTHUMBERLAND LEISURE CENTRES SPORTING CLUB BEDLINGTON - OPENING SOON - there is a list of opening times for all the other centers but nothing for the Sporting Club of Bedlington. Not that I have any intention of taking part in any activities I was just checking to see if there was any info on the site about the swimming facilities that were promised. Many members on the Facebook groups have often complained about the lack of sporting facilities and I would have added the link on those sites IF the site was showing a timetable of events and opening times. At the moment this link would just frustrate and wind the members up more.

If she'd be in her fifties now then she couldn't have been very old at the time i have in mind - the fifties. I know Olive lived at number 2 then, because I visited with a relative a couple of times. Bob and Esther didn't have any children then. I don't think they ever had any and I think that's why they loved the colliery 'bairns' as much as they did. They werea really nice couple. Bob had several brothers and sisters. It may have been one of their children who visited Olive. I don't think Olive ever married and she had no children of her own. Not 100% certain on that though.

Brian, If they cannot find it I'll send them some, we have more than enough here, along with some cold weather, should be there in a couple of weeks. (-29c right now)
