| Blagdon Cricket Club Sunday 20th June. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Watch out for this event being planned by the Blagdon Park Cricket
Club. The day is to help raise funds for the club who have recently
completed a superb extension to the cricket pavilion. I am told that the
club was started in 1898 and that the existing pavilion was completed
1908. The club now has a healthy current membership and a proud list of
previous members and visitors. the club supports young players and holds
an annual schools event, and we wish them a good day, I understand there
will be many attractions for all ages and a variety of refreshments
available.. |

| Northumberlandia. |
|
|
| Northumberlandia is shaping up to be a major project
produced by Banks and Blagdon for the benefit of the
region. We are very excited about the potential that this
project promises and we are sure that we will all be very
proud when the park is opened to the public, which is
scheduled for Summer 2013.Work has now commenced on site, initially with
the construction of the car park, soil stripping is due to commence once
access has been formed from the Shotton Site. There is an advisory
committee comprising of representatives from interested parties, who are
meeting to discuss how to promote and develop Northumberlandia for the
future, should anyone have any views I am happy to bring them to the
attention of the advisory group, and design team. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about
Northumberlandia, please speak to me and I will pass your
comments to the design team.
