  7. You might be interested in the 'model' I made when I was toying with the idea wonky. Might get onto Airfix and see if they will make the kits!
  8. Ex B, I can just about lift one end......................... wouldn't like to pay excess baggage on them!
  9. Ex B I have only just priced a UK mainland delivery!
  10. Last Saturday I gave Bedlington folk first sight of the seats. This Thursday I hope to show them again this time to buyers! Once there are some on show I can look at developing a proper retail market for them.
  11. Kind of you to say D R James but I am ruled out!
  12. and...............
  13. Again not really the Station.....
  14. Must have been like waiting for a Sunderland win Brian!
  15. Eggy, Again this is pre-empting the next stage a little but………….. It wasn't commissioned, its an original concept and that's why I need public support so we can 'influence' the powers that be that is should be the adopted Bedlington seat design! I did have to go before a panel to win the development funding but that was months ago. The seat is a Development Trust project and I take full responsibility. One of the things a Development Trust should be doing is promoting the area where it operates and we have been doing that for some . The fact that we already have an international brand is something that cannot be ignored rather it should be used to its fullest extent to gain maximum community benefit. These sorts of trusts normally take over existing buildings or service deliveries but that wasn't possible in Bedlington. (And I don't really want to go into the reasons!) Hardly any go into a direct manufacturing project, one local exception being Lynemouth Trust and their Ken Speckle chocolate production. This project will, I have no doubt, result in significant publicity for Bedlington, imprint Bedlington as an innovative centre in terms of Development Trust activity, create a bespoke seat design for the town and show that with a little bit of business acumen, common sense, determination and a fair wind we can create something out of almost nothing. It's not a full explanation Eggy but I hope you get the drift.
  16. All sorts of such laws doglover, however they all cost money and expertise to administer and they are two things not necessarily in abundance within councils these days! There were a couple of people (on here) who wanted such actions (and more) taken against the Clayton but were told council wouldn't initiate them for various reasons. It does seem strange when we are governed by rules and regulations to such an extent you can't hold something as innocuous and innocent as a street party without complying to vast reams of paperwork and intrusions by jobsworths yet when something is clearly in the public interest it is met with indifference by local government? According to the crack there is a new owner who anyone would hope will be looking to bring the place back into a reasonable and tradeable state.
  17. it wasn't bolted down keith and I can't be held responsible for how exactly level the Market Place is.
  18. Specials........
  19. More........ Have to say of the 100's of people spoken to yesterday only one said he wasn't fussed either way about seeing these seats adopted as official Bedlington seats. The other pictures are saved for an associated project!
  20. I was going to post some but I will let Foxy..............
