Never been but April, according to the 'On-Line' world does appear to be the best time to visit :- What season is it right now in Peru? Peru Seasons & Climate. The peak season for travel in Peru is between April and October. Although these months are winter south of the equator, it is locally considered summer in the Andes of Peru because it is the dry, sunny season, and the best time of year for travel and trekking. BUT The summer (December – March) is the wettest season, with frequent heavy showers. The temperatures are higher than in summer, but the nights can get very cold. In Apriland October the weather can be unpredictable with varying conditions much like the UK. AND From November to March is the rainy season in Machu Picchu, while between April to November is the dry shiny season. The rain months take approximately the 80% of the annual volume of rains (1.600 – 2.300 mm). ... However, Machu Picchu has part of the Amazon jungle, and the rains are present in all the seasons. (I'm singing, and dancing, in the rain, forest.) EXPERIENCE - then visit :- http://travelingcanucks.com/2010/10/peru-attractions-other-than-machu-picchu-incan-city/

Me neither - an old school mate got in touch and said he had our final year class photo, 1965. Unfortunately he couldn't get a decent image (he hasn't a scanner) and you can't make out anyone, it's so blurred . He has had a few attempts at taking a photo of the photo but all blurred .

Do you have some old school photos we can add into the Gallery Moe? - Ling to BGS that shows link to the Mansel Dinnis site :-

Can't recall a Mario, it must have been after I moved away, 1969. In the sixties the old man, the owner, was Joe Moscadinii and his son was Bernard. Bernard dividing his time between the cafe and the snooker hall - Annie & Norman (from South Row I think) were in the snooker hall full time.

Baccis used to have a shop at bedlington Station, but well before my time. The cafe at the Station, that we (Bedlington Station people) grew up with in the 60s was Moscardiniis - never heard the name 'Mario's' used for Moscardiniis, or Baccis. Would Mario's just be the 'Top-End' lads name for Mosciis ?

I think the Oscars 'Best Picture' mix up is one of the best stories to come out of any awards ceremony - something I never watch. Price Waterhouse Cooper must have had someone 'moonlighting' on their books to cock that up! I'll stick to singing, and dancing, in the rain 3G. But I could be tempted to to go Tra La La La, Lala La La , One banana, Two Bannan, Three Banana four......................... Instead of The Oscars they could rename it The Banana Splits and keep on slipping up.

Here's an older photo c1928. This was posted on the Bygone Bedlington site by Tracey Temple with the comment :- 'My Aunty is trying to remember some of the children in this photo, taken approximately 1928/29 at the Infant school that was opposite St Cuthberts. if anyone can fill in any gaps for her she will be very happy! She is coming up to 95, to give an indication of the age the kids will be now.' Tracey asked me to post the photo here to see if anyone in the photo can be identified, naturally as a distant relative to the members on here.

Can't close yet - Note for diary - Jan 12-13th, or even 14th (depending on ashamed face period) 2017 images of glow-stick thingummies will appear - I'm 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

I can't remember doing the credits for this

On the surface it looks like the Alnwick Garden CEO, Mark Brassell, knows who's back to scratch! Do we know what interest rate, if any, this proposed loan will attract?

Don't think so CL - I would say that's his son at the Market Place club, 1974. For eating & drinking of various luxury goods, around 1956, at The Howard Arms the then Guiness World Record holder is said to have been 47. But I could be totally wrong.

The Howard Arms gets an entry in the Bedlington Timeline document compiled by local historians :- 1956 Joe Steel, Bedlington’s champion eater was at it again. The then 42 year old munched his way through a 4 1/2 Ib steak and kidney pie about 1 foot in diameter and 3 1/2 inches deep in 17 1/2 minutes. to break another record and gain another championship by beating 24 year old Ted Stoddard of Ashington. The event was held in the Howard Arms, Bedlington on Monday August 6th. On the 23rd February 2016 this post was made on the Facebook group Bedlington Renenbered by Stephen Steel :- my great great grandfather joe steel bedlington sausage eating champion 1960's James Craik I remember Joe from Waverly avenue. Young Joe still lives there. Big family still in Bedlington. Nice bloke, my dad used to tell me about him eating sausage and he travelled to France to win an eating competition. Other comments on sixtownships group :- Lawrence Pattison :- He went to the Town Moor Hoppings and people paid to see him eat Robert Nicholson :- Joe used to enter all types of food eating compatitions at the Howard. Scott Campbell :- My grandma was barmaid at the Howard and she remembers the eating and drinking competitions. Often talks about them. Mike Irvine Lived opposite my parents on Millbank Road, could also eat pies by the plate full.
