    Piper Award

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) in People and Events Gallery

    In 2020 @Bedlingtonian suggested we create an online award for a member of this group that had helped the group throughout the yera and the award should be named Piper awards after Ainsley's Piper, the first Bedlington Terrier.

    The awrd initiated by @Bedlingtonian in 2020. Last year, 2023, the members voted for https://www.facebook.com/Thefriendsofwestleacemetery The first three years we had a poll, created by @Andy Millne, and last years was a suggestion that the members agreed with with so no poll. As it has been another quiet year, even for the regulars @Canny lass - @threegee - @Vic Patterson & me, I would suggest the same method as last year but naturally if anyone wants a pool then please ask Andy to set it up. Even Piper has had a quiet year and hasn't even had his coat trimmed for the trophy and is lying down on the job My vote this year would be for Malcolm Robinson. Regardless of his politics he has fought tirlessly for Bedlington and kept us and Facebook members aware of what is going on, or not going to happen, in Bedlington.

    @loopylou no luck with ant names from from my sister in law. I could post your photo, with space for names, on the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington and see if we can get anyone identified and I will add the name(s).

    @loopylou have you thought about creating an 'Album' named 'The Welwyn' under the Historic Bedlington categories? When you create an Album you have the option to just allow your self to add new photos or you can leave it open for every member to add photos and comments into the album you create. When you select 'Gallery' from the main headings you will see a list of recent comments/ photos that have been posted . If you scroll down you will come to the 'Categories' section - select the 'Historic Bedlington' section and you will get the option to create an album

    @loopylou Don't recognise anyone in the photo. Don't think I have ever seen any stats etc on the number of people and different trades there were at Welwyn. I must have passed the place a hundred times in the early 1960's but I can't remember ever having been anywhere on the Welwyn grounds. Normaly as school kids in the early 1960's we explored everywhere we could - but not the Welwyn
