Every year since 1991, scores of leather-clad motorcyclists have taken part in the annual Easter Egg run organised by the Northumberland Bikers' club.

They collected thousands of chocolate eggs donated by customers at various pubs and clubs and then set off in a huge motorbike convoy to deliver them to children and elderly people in hospitals and homes across Northumberland and Tyneside.

Detailing the natural and local history of Warkworth, Northumberland, the book includes a map of the village and photographs showing picturesque scenes and other places to see.

It was produced by Warkworth History Society, Amble Photographic Group, Warkworth Walkers and other individual contributors from the area.

It's the 100th anniversary of bird ringing in Britain and Tyneside ringer Brian Little has been at it for more than half of that time.

Brian, who lives in Blaydon in Gateshead, starting ringing in 1955.

He is chairman of the Northumbria Ringing Group, which includes around 30 ringers, who have a base at Hauxley, near Amble.

However, County Hall bosses have reassured the sector that a funding package of £1.3m will still be available next year. Budget proposals recommend more money for charities directly supporting those people worst affected by the recession.

These will include services such as credit unions and the Citizens' Advice Bureau.

The group spent the whole day strimming and raking up areas of long matted grass to open up some of the breeding plots. It was a race against time to complete the work before the tide dropped and the boat returned to Amble.

The panels were made possible thanks to generous funding from The Community Foundation and include information on the hide's construction from Scandinavian timber, its geothermal heating system and wildlife friendly turf roof.

Photos will be on display and prints for sale during the coffee morning at Trinity Methodist Church Hall in Amble on Friday 27th November, from 10-11.30am.

Bric-a-brac, books, tombola, raffle and home baking will all be on offer at the event.

The £1 entry fee covers refreshments and a raffle ticket.

The Amble Boys' Club was set up after the community rallied round to raise funds for children in the town to play sport and games.

Donations included £400 from the Northumbria Police Charities Fund, which has helped the club buy a new fridge, microwave, air-hockey table, swingball, dance mat and computer games.

Officers from the Alnwick Neighbourhood Policing team visited the club to deliver their donated gifts.

Youth workers based in Amble say they are currently unable to take advantage of the pots of money available to them as they simply do not have the manpower required.

The volunteers will be trained to help, support and encourage those they are mentoring on the benefits of healthy eating and exercise, as well as offering social interaction.

Each local group of the federation will put together its own team to take part in some traditional sports such as football and rugby, while there will also be some more unusual disciplines to contend with - such as a pantomime competition.

It was feared his career was shattered when he suffered a horrific leg injury.

But in his very first game, just weeks after his plaster was removed, Jordan was made man of the match after putting in a sparkling performance.

The modest teenager said: "I was really pleased, but I don't think I deserved to be made Man of the Match."

Jordan, 16, had long been a key player for his local team FC Amble Juniors, and was on the verge of being recommended to Newcastle United when he broke his right leg in two places, and dislocated his ankle, in a playground game of football in June.
