just a small detail will the VAT be paid on the hot pasty?

I agree with you Foxy 100% it,s a clip but its under development and the progress I meant was at least something was happening unlike the old school now theres an eyesore............. the powers that be are ratteling on about the "rejuvinated front street" and how nice its going to be I can only imagine they walk sideways up the street like crabs facing in the opposite direction from the school..........just a thought lol

I agree it was an eyesore but at least its making progress and regardless of what it turns out to be it will be a lot better than it was lying unused.......... but the Old School I think its about time that was it either pulled down or the owners were made to get it sorted out, I cringe EVERYTIME I pass it as I do when I see those bloody solar panels on that roof in the market place what on earth possesed the council to agree to them......whats next a wind turbine farm on top of the wood heed ?

Thank you for the invite Adam and if I was in a position to be there I would. I however work long hours and not in this area consequently it can be well after 6 when I get home and then I have paperwork, e.mails etc to do most nights, tonight is an exception. But if the councilors who are on this site see my comments and care to enquire if they can be of any assistance I am sure yourself and the other trustess (excuse me calling you volunteers) will be very gratefull, after all it may be in their ward and it is to their benefit to have a thriving center. Keep up the great work all of you.

I did,nt know that Brettly, I naturally assumed there would some financial reasoning behind it, however does the council support the Center in anyway? and if not why not ? I mean if there are no staff to pay that must have been a heavy burden on the center but these people do it for nothing and I mean nothing, so with the support from the council it would/will make life a lot easier for these people. Are there councilors who contribute to this site that can have an influence/answer my questions ? It in my opinion it can be a bit of good news for "our" town or even find a sponser. I,m fully aware of the financial state of the country and our area is no exception but there must be some local business or business,s operating around here from outside the area that could do with a bit of good P.R.

Hello everyone we held a 40th birthday party for our sister Joanne last night and I can 100% reccommend the Community Center the folks there were BRILLIANT bearing in mind they all work there as "volunteeres" they could not have been more helpfull or friendly yes there were a couple of teething problems but hey nothing that spoilt the night. I dont know WHY the council decided to close it in the first place as it is Bedlingtons ONLY hall that will hold a decent amount of people with the exception of a couple of the clubs which are not everyones cup of tea. Any way we were the first to hold a party there under the new regime and anyone wanting to find a venue need look no further, we did,nt know it was open for business we even contemplated "going over the water" to Ashington but after a word of mouth conversation and a look on the tinternet for the phone number its was sorted. So a BIG thank you to all involved you made the "BAIRNS" night. Cyril and Family.
