I originate from the Moray Firth area in the NE of Scotland. I moved jobs from Edinburgh to Newcastle in 1991 and having scoured the area for a place to set up home, Bedlington was the favoured choice of place for me and the family to stay. And here we settled into the community. My three children were well taught at West End, Meadowdale and BCHS and have gone on to further education. Those of us in Bedlington must continue to join together and to foster a strong community spirit. The Bedlington Forum is an excellent first step in achieving that objective - keep up the good work. All the very best from ScotsmanBill
