Punk at the Discovery

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Ex punk Keith Newman has been interviewed for a new exhibition at Newcastle's Discovery Museum. The event called Punk76 runs from 6th December. PUNK76! explores the rise of Punk on a regional level through the voices, artefacts and memorabilia of band members, producers, writers and fans from arguably one of the most significant and remarkable times in Britain's cultural history.

As well as collecting material and objects for the exhibition for the last six months, the Discovery Museum outreach team, along with volunteers, have been conducting oral history interviews with band members and fans alike. Highlights of these interviews will be presented on a free jukebox within the gallery space along with a selection of 7" Punk singles from the period; local, national and international.

Line-up deal to make it big in e-business

Dec 29 2006

By Paul Mcmillan, The Evening Chronicle

Thousands of us search eBay for a bargain every day.But how would you fancy making a living by setting out your stall in cyberspace?

The YouTrade Project, run by development agency One NorthEast, wants to give 10 regional entrepreneurs £2,000 each to start their businesses on eBay. They will also receive advice from Business Link and current eBay power sellers. The deadline for the competition is fast approaching, with all entries needing to be in by January 8, 2007.

Worldwide auction site eBay is already incredibly popular with occasional users looking to buy or sell a range of items from crisp packets to houses. And it has become increasingly popular as an outlet for professional sellers running full-time businesses.

Among those are Keith and Lesley-Anne Newman, who have been using the site to run All Your Yesterdays, specialising in antiques or collectables, from their home in Ulgham, near Morpeth, since June.

The business was started with a £1,000 grant from Business Link and has gone on to sell gas masks to Spain, naval plaques to Taiwan as well as a host of other items to collectors in the United States, New Zealand and Australia.

Former Press officer Keith, 43, said: "You have got to be very customer focused, which we are, because we get something like 99.9% positive feedback. "We primarily sell antiques and collectables. You don't know what the value of the items will be, it all depends on whether people are buying or not. There may be a postcard that goes for £2 one week and £20 to £30 the next."You can't say I am going to make £300 this week, it depends on the market place.

"One piece of advice is to make sure you do things by the book. We have signed up to courses from the tax office and got ourselves an accountant. "It keeps us in the clear, you don't want the taxman knocking at your door."

North East Regional Portal's chief executive, Norma Foster, said enterprising people in the region are an example to others. She said: "As e-business champions we want to encourage and support entrepreneurship in the region by providing online support and opportunities for business start-ups to make the most of trading online. This competition represents a fantastic opportunity for 10 entrepreneurs to develop a business idea online."

South Shields Clean Tyne Project

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Shields Gazette 2/11/06.

TYNE FOR A CLEAN-UP! BANKS along the Tyne have been raided by a team of cleaners. Stacks of debris has been removed in the final phase of the Clean Tyne Project.
Wading through rubbish and driftwood, dozens of volunteers set about shifting waste that had gathered along the riverbanks.
The mass clean-up was backed by South Tyneside Council and the Green Gym.
Operations
Already, project members have completed eight clean-up operations since October.
However, this time the team worked on the area next to Templetown slipway in South Shields.
Volunteer co-ordinator with the Clean Tyne Project, Keith Newman, said: "The clean-ups we have along the Tyne are important as a lot more of the river is accessible to the public.
"It's important the rubbish is removed. If it's allowed to grow you are encouraging rats, it blocks footpaths or it could cause damage to small boats, to their propellers.
"There are a lot of positive reasons why these clean-ups should continue."
Volunteers from a number of businesses and the Green Gym were backed by staff from South Tyneside Council.
Everyone involved underwent a briefing and were kitted out with safety gear.
Mr Newman added: "Before we start, we talk about safety issues and carry out proper risk assessments, then the volunteers work for about three hours.
"What the volunteers get out of it is achievement.
"You see a massive improvement."
