Thanks for the reassurance Fourgee. I`ll turn my phone back on instantly!

The BBC`s Inside Out team followed Russell on his return to Bedlington some years ago. There are some archive pieces from his 1960 documentary "The Bedlington Miners` Picnic" below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northeast/series7/russell_miners.shtml

Dear All Can please I draw your attention to Bedders news: http://www.bedlingto...light-show-r119 101 year young Mary Latty will be turning on the Christmas tree lights outside Bernicia Homes Sleekburn House on Thursday Dec. 1st SNRG`s Colin Patterson will be hosting the event, which includes live music. The show begins at 6:30pm. ALL WELCOME! I`ve again managed to stupidly somehow fail to attach Mary`s pic when I posted the news article. Could a moderator etc. please add the attached to it. Many thanks.

Important Calibre Audio Library update Due to the drop in charitable donations to Calibre, they intend to introduce a one off introductory fee to new members: Adults £35 Young Calibre £20 This kicks in January 1st. So if you have a friend or relation who would benefit from this currently free Talking Book service, get them signed up "Toot Suite"!

Hi Adam & Welcome

Dear All More good news on the funding front! Hatrick.doc

Bathroom!

And its very good to have you back! If you don`t go away again you might even get a road named after you like I did. Oh & a Crescent. Yep & a Place. Not to mention a church!

If you have a friend or relation who has sight problems or can`t get to a library for disability reasons check out: http://www.calibre.org.uk/Default.aspx for them. Thousands of audio books available in various formats, including audio cassette & it`s a totally free service! You might even come across one a colleague & I made earlier. Happy listening.

Welcome to the World baby Autumn. Well done all! Best wishes- John.

Just thought I`d give this post a bump as there are still a couple of days left to get that letter posted.

Dear All As promised please find attached Newsletter 4: Newsletter 4 letter.pdf

Simple but effective & sadly so true. Financial freefall; explained in 3 minutes https://www.facebook.com/koastradio#!/photo.php?v=10150860012110261 Thanks to Si Drew for spotting this one.

Dear All A reminder that in our forthcoming programming we will broadcast a weekly Live Lounge type programme. The studio recording time for this is being kindly donated by Pegswood based Loud & Flashy. If you would like to apply for a chance to take part please contact Si at: https://www.facebook.com/loudandflashy While you are there like for good measure. Also Loud & Flashy are running a Battle of the Bands type of competition for us. The winning entrant will have a superb album produced for them as their prize. Again contact Si with your details. Some examples of your music would be of great help to both potential recording opportunities. Good luck!

Two answers... Keith- NO! Brettly- You can put as many BLANK envelopes in as you want. You`ll find you won`t win!

This man is a charlatan! Thank you Malcolm. Dear All The more eagle eyed of you will have spotted a recently erected appendage to the exterior of our studio area at 90A. Yes a brand new letter box. We need to see if it works. Please help us: Send us a post card or stuck down letter- 90A Front Street East, Bedlington. NE22 5AE Add your name, address & telephone number Tell us if you are over 18 Do this by Oct. 25th please & we`ll put all received into a box & pull out the winner of either a bottle of wine or box of chocs (if you are under 18).

Congrats from me too! Now you are outnumbered!!

Dear All We are on the look out for a nice looking office desk to go in our station reception area. Could you please keep your eyes & ears open for this & other office stuff such as filing cabinets etc. as we are going to need them fairly soon. I know it`s a long shot to think that people are likely to be giving such stuff away for nothing, but just maybe, they will help us out. Our chairman Colin would eagerly come to collect. Many thanks, John.

Welcome back Graham. Be assured you will have some airtime on Synergy to promote the cause in the not too distant future!

Sorry Folks. This Bedders story: http://www.bedlingto...oadcasters-r108 meant to have this pic with it: Didn`t upload for some reason. Anyway; better late than never.

See what you mean Brettly. Thanks for pointing that out. Nice write up who ever did it.
