For more years than I care to remember I was secretary of Woodlawn School Parents & Friends Assocation and helped organise their Boxing Day Xmas Pudding Fun Run.
The Run was/is
always started by the Tynemouth Member of Parliament and Privy Counsellor, The
Right Honourable Sir Alan Campbell.
Naturally
an open air event on Boxing Day is weather dependant but, although I’ve been
soaked to the skin once or twice, the Run was only affected really badly a
couple of times over two decades.
Christmas 2009 was really snowy and icy, but we managed to postpone the
Run to another day.

Just back from the Xmas Pudding Fun Run flushed with success as BBC, Tyne Tees and the Evening Chronicle photographer all turned up.
Now to download photos for Chron, News Guardian, MP Alan Campbell's secretary and here.
House like MarieCeleste - where are they?

Bentonbag It's been said before ...
Strawangel I got a lovely shot
of you and Alan Campbell together
Bentonbag Ooo do send
across for archive/blackmailing purposes - my mum would have been so proud!
Strawangel Will do. I'll fb
and email
Mrs
Treasurer Ben - well done in getting all the publicity. Will be watching the TV news tonight to see
if we're on!
Bentonbag I think it helped
they don't have to pay double time on a February Sunday - and it was something
different!
Strawangel I think we'll definitely
be on.
Mrs Treasurer We made it onto BBC Look North at 5.50pm!
