At least you and the wife can still be together and still share seperate interests. Best wishes for 2006 and good luck with the birds and the horses.

carl Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Shelbin There was a similar situation with the allotments in Ryhope, Sunderland several years ago, the flyers enrolled they help of the Local Member of Parliament and the lofts were saved, if my memory sserves me correctly one of the crees had been there for generations and eventually it was listed (I think) a Grade 2 listed building. Perhaps you should get in touch with someone from The Rhyhope fling Club who may be able to put you on the right tract to keep your allotments. If my memory serves me correctly (again) a lot of these allotments in mining areas were given my the Colliery owners early in the 1900's so that the pitmen had some open space for outdoor recreation after working long hours at the pit face. Even though coal mining is a thing of the past, the land is still used as out door recreation and not a spot for some spec builder to take away from them. Maybe a good old fashioned "Tidy up" and coat of paint would work wonders Just my opinion Yes there is a grant we have just applied for in our club (oddfellows hs is hendon sunderland)called the coalfeilds re generations trust,we can apply for anything up to £10.000 to benefit tidying up our club etc. hyacinth did you fly in ryhope before as its only up the road from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 No Carl, I flew in Lancashire, but read about the Ryhope Miners in the BHW, and being as my old Dad was a pitman, I donated some birds to an auction for their benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
