@ShaunL - your right Shaun - it's me reading the profile wrong🤦♂️ - 14th April 2020 was when Jammy joined the group.

@ShaunLI haven't seen a comment from @Jammy for a while so I checked (by clicking on the members ID Tag) and his profile has the '8th April 2020' as the last time he logged onto this group. I've 'Tagged' him by preceding his name tag with an'@' but I don't know if he has his account set to received a notification when Tagged.

Most of us will remember the game of 'Pitch & Toss' that was played outside the Miners Institute at the 'A' Pit that is now illegal to play. It is also illegal to play in New Zealand except on ANZAC day :-

@PaulJ - this is not the Scroll of Honours board but it is a link to a project created by @Rigger. Rigger did research on all those that lived in Bedlington and were killed in WWI.

@Rigger & @Maggie/915 - have either of you herd of the 'Scroll of Honour' for WWI ?@PaulJ - I Googled the Bedlington Community Centre to find out their contact details and info on their activities etc. that they used to have on on a web site but all attempts to link to that site failed so I don't know if they have closed it down and now use Facebook as their main source of contact and info. This is a screen shot of their Facebook page :- :-
@PaulJ - I can't remember anyone discussing a 'Scroll of Honour' on this group. I do remember a topic - WW1 Private James Bonner Archbold - was raised under the History Hollow section by @Harry and some comments were posted about the WWI Poppy Map that was created and researched by staff at the Bedlington Community Centre. I do not know it that Poppy Map has any link to a Scroll of Hounor. This is a direct link to the topic WW1 Private James Bonner Archbold :-
