Alex Wallace posted on Facebook on the 17th September :- East Bedlington Parish Council have determined to support the very popular Live Music Festival held at Gallagher Park, subject to funding for the next 3 years but we need to change the name. Please help by clicking the link and voting by 12 noon Wednesday 26th September. Today he followed up with :- It was announced this evening with over 1,000 voting, more than 3-1 for it to be rebranded as Gallagher Park Live. Northumberland will have to fit in somewhere to get it onto social media. The chair informed those present Northumberland county Council were no longer involved and 1 of the 4 tendering for the event held the name so we were unable to continue for 2 legitimate reasons. In addition -an exclusive- put the date in your diary Saturday 27th July 2019. It’s on!

Not a bad idea. We can make the categories and albums public but the images member only but I'm all for keeping things open generally. Getting people to sign up doesn't seem to be an issue as there's a constant stream of members it's the engagement that is sometimes tricky. The advantage of Facebook is it's general social aim but it's also the big disadvantage in that pretty much everything posted there is ultimately doomed to get lost. We're working on allowing people to post before registering so that posting and signing up are part of the same process. Hopefully that will help.
