Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@wdmytrenko - Cheers Walter - I will add your name to the photo in the Gallery

@wdmytrenko - thanks for the update. We have an Album within the Gallery under Historic Bedlington for each of the Bedlington schools. The Village school is on Page 2. The 1950 Class 4 photo, + a bit that was missing from the first photo that was posted, with names is in the Album. The photos were post on Facebook . Unfortunately they weren't scanned ( just a photo of the photo) so the quality is not that good. Have you managed to download a copy of the photo with names from this site and would like the 'mashup' full photo with 26 children without the names?

And some people would still whinge there were too many houses and not enough services. Could Amazon & Sports direct cope with that number online. It's a pity the councils couldn't have a production line like in Brave New World and flick the switch to produce more doctors etc. But I would still be singing and dancing in the rain - doo be do do, doobe doobe do do, doo be do do, doobe doobe do do, doo be do do, doobe doobe do do

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were 1980 - Ctrl + P from the the 7522 (I think) terminal to the ICL ML193 printer with an RS232 interface cable.. Wonder if there still available? I could get one hooked up to Moe's thought train and the explanations would just flow out with a Ctrl + P.

Champion - then once Bletchley Park sorts it out for you and you have understood it, you might be able to reply and explain your comments. I'm singing and dancing in the rain Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, what a glorious feeling I'm happy again, just singing and dancing, in the rain, Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do

Wound up I am not. Repeating myself = I extracted one phrase I had used and the rest were yours and one from Webtrekker. I simply read all of your points, couldn't understand them, and rather than make wild assumptions asked for an explanation from the source ☺️. But rather than explain yourself you trying and make out that it is me that talks 'fluent wally' and your objective is not to say anything constructive but just an attempt to wind people up. I remain unwound and wait for you to explain the points I put to you but if that is too much to ask then end of discussion

I'm singing and dancing in the rain Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do, what a glorious feeling I'm happy again, just singing and dancing, in the rain, Doobe Do Do, Doobe Doobe Do Do

Gateway features that someone made the effort to design - commission and have placed : - Photos taken by Simon Williams So there are people enjoying the Gateway features. What idea have you come up with @moe19 that will please all of the people all of the time?

I find that most born and bred Bedlington folk, that now live elsewhere (because of work, marriage etc.), like to stop and say hello to Bedlington people and socialise with them. I would expect that anyone interested in Bedlington, for whatever reason, who spend time and money there . Anyone that didn't then surely they should just take a different route to get to where you would like to stop .

1953 - July. Peter Arris - Chairman of the BTNE club - has posted the full picture for me along with this info :- Here is a picture of William Luker (extreme right). Notice old Ned Metcalf kneeling, he never did dress up for the occasion, I think he went to bed wearing that old 1890’s style bonnet. None of this, is in my particular period of enquiry, so I have never looked at it before with any great interest. However, the name Luker intrigued me, certainly not one that we often encounter in Northumberland. So, with a little bit of digging, I discovered that his father was a stone mason and surprise, surprise married into the Thomson family of Bedlington terrier fame. His wife was called Lily Victoria Luker. Died 1957. He joined the National Bedlington Terrier Club committee about 1953, (no sign of his cup there unfortunately) though it was won by Miss Heron another NBT member in a non-connected show in Morpeth in 1953 and not heard of again, possibly she kept it. They were supposed to be returned to the show secretary each year. It would appear that during that time. The National Bedlington Terrier Club was again in a state of turmoil and instability. With the old and the new members each having serious differences of opinion on how it should be run, or if it should even remain faithful to its roots in Bedlington, as new Bedlington Terrier clubs started to appear in the southern regions of the U.K. It would appear that the working class, cloth cap image was not to the liking of the newer members. It did not take them long, to forget the history of our beloved Terriers.
