Richard's History Listen

L to R: Neal Younger (Synergy), Richard Pyle
and Newbiggin Mayor Will Rogers.

And Richard's commentaries will feature in a series of broadcasts on Synergy when the station returns on 87.7FM and on-line at www.synergyradio.co.uk in August.
Richard, 53, who now lives in Zurich, was born in Newbiggin and admits to being "a huge local history buff". "I completed my masters degree on British history at Newcastle University a couple of years ago," he said. "I specialised on the history of south east Northumberland and my dissertation centred on Newbiggin."
Richard's interactive guide to 14 villages and towns includes 30 sites in his native Newbiggin including Church Point, The Haven - former summer home of the Trevelyan family of Wallington Hall, and the old colliery site.
"The app, which I call 'Village Guides' is aimed at visitors and residents alike and I hope it will contribute to a better understanding of the area's heritage," he added. Newbiggin's mayor, Councillor Will Rogers welcomed the new app. "I think it is incredible", he said. "It is an excellent guide to the area. We want people to come and visit Newbiggin, and this guide is a great and innovative way to sell the area".
The guides are available on the itunes app store priced 99p to £1.99p. For more information contact Richard via villageguides@gm.com ■

Election Special!

To quote a little of what was said:
So there you have it! We've agreed that the political dinosaurs who refuse to engage other than under strictly controlled conditions have no right to gag "the new politics". We've an amazing spread of views across our membership, and there's a matching tolerance to the rights of others to express their opposing views.
Maybe the best advice to members is to consider what the person you give your vote to is going to do with it after they've safely pocketed it? Are they going to go AWOL until the next election, or are you going to be able to put searching questions to them afterwards, and get a prompt explanation of why they are doing what they are doing in your name?
If there's one thing that's generally agreed it's that our Town has been badly served by "party hacks" of all parties. The "new accountability" is everywhere these days, so perhaps it's not a big ask that Bedlington gets its rightful share! â–

Synergy Marks Murder Centenary

Produced and edited by Synergy presenter John White and based on a script by the Sixtownships community history group, the re-enactment was recorded by staff and students of Morpeth's King Edward V1 School.
The play is amongst a dozen of John's Drivetime show items in the Audio Archive
Said John: "We plan to build up the audio archive so that people in the area who may have missed local items when they were first aired will now have the opportunity of listening to them. And as we're coming up to the hundredth anniversary of such an infamous event in Bedlington's history, we felt it just had to be included as part of the archive."
Amongst other items that are now available on the site is John's transatlantic interview with expat author Paul Mann whose book "The Leek Club" describes his formative years growing up in Bedlington.
Synergy organiser South Northumberland Radio Group is applying to Ofcom for a second 28-day licence to broadcast on FM and simultaneously on-line later this year.

Bedlington Has a New Residents Group!

The reputation that Burnside has had over the last decade or two has not been the best, to say the least. Things have improved significantly over the last 12 months or so and it is our intention to build on that and make it an estate that people wont be ashamed to admit to living on.




There are many good people living on this estate and they have had to suffer the stigma of living on Burnside because of the way a certain few chose to lead their lives by disrespecting their neighbours and environment and, in doing so, tarring everyone on the estate with the same brush, things can only change for the better.

Synergy Makes Expansion Easy

Keith Fitzsimmons, the co-owner of Synergy, first approached Stelios in December 2010 shortly after the launch of easyGym, with a view to opening physiotherapy clinics at the easyGym sites as a complementary service. More than 18 months later the CEO of easyGym, Paul Lorimer-Wing confirmed that he wanted Synergy to be its Physiotherapy partner.
Keith, who has so far invested £90,000 in the easyGym openings, said: "I launched Synergy in 1999 and opened the Bedlington clinic in 2002. Since then I have expanded the business, opening in Carlisle and in Gosforth, with a total of seven physiotherapists and two administration staff "“ so we are a successful business. But I saw this as a great opportunity. EasyGym has been a pleasure to work with and is eventually looking at opening 50 sites across the UK "“ so this is an extremely exciting time for us."
Synergy is fitting out the clinics - which are a minimum of 160 sq ft and each employ at least of two physios "“ with top quality furniture and state of the art equipment.
Keith has also invested in a bespoke online booking system, developed by Newcastle based web developer Jump, that allows real time booking, giving greater choice to patients and saving Synergy time in administration.
He said: "The clinics at EasyGym sites are open seven days and longer hours than normal physio clinics are "“ from as early as 6.30am in some places "“ so therefore we needed a realtime booking system that enabled patients to make their appointments online, and pay for them at the same time.
"We are also looking at expanding the services offered at all of the sites to incorporate sports nutritionists, podiatrists, and even sports doctors."
Paul Lorimer-Wing from EasyGym said: "When Synergy approached us we saw a great opportunity to develop complementary services at EasyGym sites. Keith has done a great job in developing those services and opening well equipped clinics. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership."
Synergy, which won the Rio Tinto Business of the Year award in 2008, has also recently been asked to provide physiotherapy services to the stars of the X Factor during some parts of their UK-wide tour, including the recent shows at the Newcastle arena.

Radio Station's £12,000 Boost

South Northumberland Radio Group's campaign to raise funds for its second FM and simultaneous on-line broadcast has, this month, received two boosts: £500 from Blyth Town Council's Community Chest fund and a Big Lottery Fund Awards for All grant offer of £6251.
This funding adds to £5250 in recent grants and donations from West Bedlington Town Council, the Co-op Community Fund, the Newcastle-based Sir James Knott Trust and an anonymous overseas well-wisher.
The group's chairman, Colin Heathcote said: "We're absolutely delighted that our fund raising efforts have paid off and that we can go ahead with another broadcast.
"Apart from the funding, we have had tremendous support for our project to provide a genuinely accessible community radio service from people and organisations throughout our broadcast area of south east Northumberland.
"Amongst the many letters and messages received are those from several parish and town councils in the area, the local MPs, Northumberland County Council, Alan Shearer, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Salvation Army, Samaritans, Wansbeck CVS, Age UK, Bedlington Forum, Friends of Gallagher Park, British Red Cross, Bedlingtonshire Chamber of Trade and Sir John Hall who is currently chairing a committee which aims to breathe new life into Ashington town centre."
He added: "Our broadcast in March last year attracted nearly 100 studio guests and was well received in the community. The second broadcast will enable us to build on that success and give volunteers a chance to further hone their broadcasting skills as we await Ofcom's five-year licence application decision."

Synergy FM 6k Lottery Grant

Dear All.
Fantastic news just in today:
The Big Lottery Fund has given us a grant of £6251
We applied for this money to finance another 28 day fm broadcast, similar to the one back in March last year.
So please watch this space for further details...
SYNERGY is about to return!
John White

Synergy's £4000 Boost

The money will help pay for Synergy's proposed second 28-day broadcasting licences.
The Bedlington-based station has received £1000 from the Co-op's Community Fund and £3000 from the Sir James Knott Trust of Newcastle.
The organisation behind the broadcasting project is the South Northumberland Radio Group which organised the successful four weeks of live programming "“ which included contributions from numerous community groups - on air for listeners in south east Northumberland in March 2012.
Its chairman Colin Heathcote said: "Receiving the two grants just before Christmas was a real tonic. Fund-raising in the current difficult financial climate is very hard with so many voluntary groups and charities chasing an ever-diminishing pot of money.
"We have built a tremendous support base which is reflected by the wide variety of local and regional funders, and listeners here and overseas, who believe in what we are trying to achieve: a genuinely accessible community radio station that will provide the type of broadcasting service the area's residents deserve."
He added: "We look forward to adding to our funding total in 2013 when we hope to achieve not only a second successful Ofcom-approved restricted service licence broadcast on FM and on-line, but also progress on plans for a five-year full-time licence."

Bedlington.. Our Stories.

All Our Stories, a brand new small grant programme, launched earlier this year in support of BBC Two's The Great British Story- has been designed as an opportunity for everyone to get involved in their heritage. With HLF funding and support, community groups will carry out activities that help people explore, share and celebrate their local heritage.
The popular series presented by historian Michael Wood and supported by a programme of BBC Learning activities and events got thousands of us asking questions about our history and inspired us to look at our history in a different way through the eyes of ordinary people.
The programme and HLF "˜All Our Stories' has proved a real hit and now "Bedlington"¦Our Stories" is one of hundreds of successful projects around the UK to receive a grant. Leading Link and the Bedlingtonshire Development Trust are using this project to show why the history and heritage of Bedlington is so important. Working with young people, local historians, Newcastle University, Woodhorn Museum and residents the project will produce a timeline of historical content and also produce a kind of interactive Pandora's Box which will be used to add even more stories and content. Three celebratory events are planned over the next 12 months and everyone will be encouraged to take part in those.
TV presenter and historian Michael Wood said, "We British love our history, and no wonder: few nations in the world, if any, have such riches on their doorstep, and so much of it accessible to all of us. It is really tremendous that the people of Bedlington have been inspired to get involved to tell their own story and to dig deeper into their own past. It's brilliant so many people are being given the chance to get involved through the All Our Stories grants. Having travelled the length and breadth of the British Isles this last year filming The Great British Story, I am certain that fascinating and moving stories will be uncovered which will not only bring to life the excitement of local history, but will illuminate and enrich every community's connection with the national narrative."
Commenting on the award, Lyn Horton from Leading Link said, "It is a tremendous achievement to be one of the first groups in the UK to receive an HLF grant," a sentiment echoed by Malcolm Robinson from the Bedlingtonshire Development Trust. "After organising the Olympic Torch parade and a Diamond Jubilee celebration in the town, attended by over 1000 local people, this project allows us to delve a little deeper into Bedlington's history and find out a lot more about this fantastic area." "With the production of our "˜Pandora's box' and the exciting programme that we have planned to deliver in all of the local schools, this project promises to be fun, interactive and informative for all involved."
Ivor Crowther, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund North east, said, "Clearly the success of All Our Stories has reinforced the fact that we are indeed a nation of story tellers and that we want to explore and dig deeper into our past and discover more about what really matters to us. This is exactly what the grant will do for the Bedlington Our Stories project, as they embark on a real journey of discovery." â–

Community Garden set to blossom

The day, which runs from 11am until 2pm, will feature a BBQ, a mini-fun fair and some creative family activities including a "˜junk funk' workshop.
An annual charity bike ride will also run alongside raising money for the Simon Parker Trust, which helps each year to fund two bursary places for students going into University.
The 14 mile ride, being supported and managed by WATBike, will start and finish at The Lodge.
There is a £5 entry fee (which includes a free burger!) to help cover costs and Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Unfortunately, Under 10s cannot take part but can still come and enjoy fun fair rides and creative activities at The Lodge throughout the day.
Lyn Horton, manager of Leading Link, said: "We are delighted that the High Sheriff has agreed to come and cut the ribbon at our new Community Garden."
"All of the young people and staff involved in the project over the summer worked tirelessly to make the area look amazing, and we want to reward them with a grand reveal ceremony."
"We are also more than happy to be supporting a fantastic cause in the Simon Parker Trust, which is now in its second year of helping students through University bursaries."
If you're interested in taking part in the bike ride, you can sign up and collect sponsorship forms from The Lodge or by downloading the forms at www.leadinglink.co.uk.

Synergy's £1000 Boost

A Northumberland community radio station has received a £1000 boost in its fund-raising efforts to stage another 28-day broadcast.
Bedlington-based "˜Synergy' was allocated the Community Chest award by the local town council at its meeting last night (Thursday July 12).
The station, which completed a four"“week restricted service licence FM broadcast throughout south east Northumberland on March 30, aims to raise £7000 to pay for the second broadcast which is planned for later this year.
The South Northumberland Radio Group, the organisation behind Synergy, is currently appealing to local and regional funding agencies including parish and town councils.
Said SNRG chairman Colin Heathcote: "We're absolutely delighted that West Bedlington Town Council has approved our application for funding. The Council has helped us financially in the past and its members have been very complimentary about the station. They see it as a worthwhile community asset and we intend to repay their faith in us by again showing that a genuinely accessible local community radio station can play a positive role in the life of the area."
During Synergy's four weeks on air, its team of volunteer presenters hosted nearly 100 people in the studio, staged a live transatlantic interview with a Bedlington author now living in the US; relayed a specially recorded radio play on the triple Bedlington murder of 1913; had live outside music broadcasts and carried live reports of football matches featuring Bedlington Terriers, Ashington and Blyth Spartans.
The studio guests ranged from three-year-old children who were helping a local animal charity, to singers and musicians. The interviewees also included local MPs, writers, representatives from charities and local organisations as diverse as the Samaritans, Age UK, the south east Northumberland Rail Users Group, the Lord Lieutenancy, the Lifespan/McMillan Nurses befriending service, teachers, Northumberland's Fire and Rescue Chief, Red Cross, Salvation Army, National Health Service, St Cuthbert's Church, local councillors, Bedlington Forum, Bedlingtonshire Development Trust, a foster mum, work training agencies, actors, footballers, the neighbourhood policing team and an Olympic flame carrier.

Bear’s message to Northumberland Scouts

Northumberland's newest community radio station has received a very special message to pass on to Scouts in the county.
One of the station's presenters, Keith Newman who hosts the New Wave with Newman show managed to get an interview with explorer, action man and Chief Scout, Bear Grylls when he visited members of the Royal Naval Reserve at HMS Calliope after completing his Olympic Torch zip wire spectacular.
As a Queen's Scout himself, Keith was keen to find out what message Bear had for the hundreds of Scouts in Northumberland.
"Be proud and remember that Scouting is like life, you get out what you get in," he said. "Keep going, be ambitious and I'll see you at the Queen's Scouts Parade in Windsor one day."
He continued, " Don't take the organisation for granted, you are part of something special, a worldwide force for good with 28 million Scouts and you stand for something special with people looking up to you."
Radio Northumberland is currently providing an internet based service broadcasting music, community information and talk based programming. As the station grows, an application will be made to Ofcom for a temporary RSL licence which will enable it to broadcast on an FM radio frequency to the people of Ashington, Bedlington, Blyth, Cramlington and Morpeth.
The station broadcasts a variety of music styles and genres with shows by experienced presenters and interviewers as well as running shows presented by schools, scout groups and other community organisations.
The station is now looking to recruit more members of the team to help present, operate behind the scenes and promote the station. Anyone interested can contact the station on requests@radionorthumberland.com .

Synergy Online Fan's £250 Donation

An expat Bedlingtonian living and working in other parts of Europe has sent a south east Northumberland community radio station £250 to help fund its next broadcast.
The on-line listener of Synergy "“ which broadcast for 28 days during March "“ is keen to see the station fulfill its aim to stage another broadcast before the end of the year.
The donator, who wishes to remain anonymous, e-mailed station organisers South Northumberland Radio Group (SNRG) to say that the broadcasts, during the short time Synergy was on air, had been thoroughly enjoyed - adding that "listening gave me, an ex-pat, a rather nice feeling of once again being in touch with my roots and being a part of the community I've always loved".
SNRG chairman Colin Heathcote said "We are absolutely delighted to get this entirely unexpected and unsolicited contribution from this listener, who clearly feels that our aim to provide a genuinely accessible community radio service to people in south east Northumberland is worth supporting."
The station "“ which played host to nearly 100 guests "“ plans to apply for a second restricted service licence from the government's broadcasting authority, Ofcom. In the meantime it has to raise up to £10,000 to pay for the forthcoming broadcast and related activities.
Said Colin: "As we are a community radio station we will be applying to local organisations as well as regional and national bodies for funding. And if people who have listened to us either locally or elsewhere are interested in helping they can contribute by sending a cheque made out to South Northumberland Radio Group at 90a Front Street East, Bedlington , NE22 5AE.
Donations can also be made on-line by Paypal to: donate@synergyradio.co.uk."
