@Canny lass - I was hoping Robert Moreland would have come back with some info but he hasn't responded

After the Extraordinary full council meeting yesterday. that Malcolm Posted on June 16th I don't suppose the council will have any money to send a group of councillors down to Barnstable, North Devon (unless there is another Barnstable) to find out how it's done.

Will it ever happen - Tuesday, 28 June 2022 Councillor Alex Wallace urges Northumberland Conservatives to take a trip to Barnstaple to change their minds about Bedlington Leisure https://anorthernviewofpolictics.blogspot.com/2022/06/councillor-alex-wallace-urges.html?spref=fb&fbclid=IwAR3MOaLES5SWKwiIgDHWj6MPPAxOyGgzde5Ei-dcc0up76Nqwsqq1DQVN8E

@katarsia

@Canny lass - because of the comment Alan Brady, ex Netherton Colliery lad, posted in response to my request for info on George MacGregor :- where he mentions Geordie's marra Bob Morland I created a new post on the Facebook group - Past Times History - that I know are two ex Netherton Colliery people = Robert Morland and Joan Morland, to see if they knew anything about Bob Morland's mate George MacGregor. Unfortunately one of the Past Time History group admins must have deemed my post was not about the past and a Bedlington man and they have deleted my posting before Robert & Joan Morland have responded to it. Before admin deleted the posting I did get a response which gave the address of George MacGregor on the Hartlands estate plus a message via the FB private messenger service. This is a screen shot from my PC showing both responses :-

@Canny lass - nothing concrete from James, just a memory of a guy n a posh Jag etc. :-

I wonder if James Lee Aynsley, ex Netherton Colliery lad, will remember him? I will 'tag' him on the Bygone Bedlington FB group.

@Canny lass - no new comments since yesterday. Anything else I can add to the FB post that might get you an answer?🤞

And a comment from Janet Jackson :-

@Canny lass - a comment from Graeme Murphy, Bygone Bedlington FB group.

@julie law

@Canny lass - posted your comment on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group and have received two replies to the post to date + one 'private message' via the Facebook Messenger service. I have PMed you the private message. These are the two posted comments.

Sorry @Malcolm Robinson - I switched off after 30mins. I hope you got a tea break. I see there have been over 2,000 views of the Youtube video. Is that normal or just because it was an Extraordinary meeting of full council ?

I have been contacted by @Keith Scantlebury asking if I could help John Batey who is looking into two heritage projects for East Bedlington Parish Council. I have Googled 'NCC Heritage Projects' and found this :- http://www.ca-north.org.uk/empowering-organisations/village-halls-community-buildings/village-halls-heritage-project Keith passed on my email address to John Batey and I received this email :- Subject: History Hello Alan, Keith Scantlebury has given me your email address. East Bedlington Parish Council is launching two large scale Heritage Projects - one based on the building which houses the Community Centre, and one based on the 1821 waggon way from Willow Bridge to the River Blyth. Would you like to be involved ? Best wishes, John Batey ---------------------------------------------------- I don't have any documented facts on the Bedlington Station Community Centre or the 1821 Wagon Way. Does anyone in this group have any documentations that might help the project? If anyone wants to pass anything to John Batey then please let me know and I will give you his email address. Eggy
