The project has been successful in securing funds from Awards for All to replace the hardware and upgrade the software that we use to maintain the website.  As part of the upgrading process we will be giving the site a new look and also improving its access for people with hearing or sight impairments.  While all the changes are being made we will be more than happy to continue to receive your memories but we won't be publishing any new material until all the new technology is in place.  We expect this to take about three months, so by Easter 2006 we should be back with a new look site and lots of new memories and features.  In the meantime, we'll keep you updated with progress.

100 Memory Challenge

Staff and volunteers in the RPRF project have launched a ‘one hundred memory’ challenge and we’d be delighted if any of our website visitors would like to be part of it. 

The aim is to collect 100 new memories by 31st March 2012 and display them on our website.  Memories can cover any subject that has a connection to North Tyneside in the 20th Century and they can be short or long, poetry, prose, spoken, photographic etc, etc. 

Each contributor will get a presentation set of their memory, which makes a nice gift for members of the family. 

If you’d like to find out more or send in a draft of your memory please use the ‘Contact Us’ page on the website.
