    Your names to watch out for, 3 and it used to be only 1, Lasse Viren. Has Sweden had an increase of hemoglobin donations?

    Can Great Britain beat 2012 - finished third in the medals table at the London 2012 Olympic Games, winning 29 golds and making 65 trips to the podium in total. That could be a tough tally to match at this summer's Games in Rio without a home crowd to spur them on, but there is still plenty of potential for success. Last month the target medal range for the team heading out to Rio was set between 47 and 79 based on performance data and analysis. (not my info, extract from SKY news) Never been unable to understand the point of the opening ceremony, of any event. Just a waste of money in my book. I will be watching loads. Especially track & field events where you can see the drive, determination, pain etc. in the face of the athletes. Swimming, diving, weightlifting, horse dressage, I will quite happily see if we win anything but wont be watching the competition.

    For the last couple of days I have been unable to add photos to any existing Gallery Albums that I created. I did select the 'Contact us' option and pasted the fail message into the Contact us message and send it but no acknowledgment of my action was received from the 'system'.

    Reedy - I've sent a message to JK and updated him on Norah Hopper. Webtrecker - didn't know the Market Place Club stewardess but did know Tommy. I know he was Concert Chairman at the Market Place club for a few years and I first met him on the Civil Service site at Longbenton in the early 70s. This photo, (posted by John Dawson on sixtownships) of committee members was posted on Facebook saying they were all members of the Guidepost social club - don't know if Tommy was also on their committee or just visiting.

    As the Hollymount Square houses (right hand side of the photo) look completely built this photo will probably be after 1947-48.

    The only posting I can find of this image is the one posted 14th October 2015 by Debbie Haldon‎ on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group. I thought I had seen it on another site (even this one) but I can't find it anywhere else.
