Macmerry Lives!

The new Macmerry Lives oral history project, funded by Tyne-Esk LEADER, was launched at Macmerry Primary School on Friday the 25th Sept.

The pupils of Macmerry were holding their annual Macmillan Coffee Morning when the LMA turned up amidst the homebaking and choccy biccies. Some of which made their way back to the LMA offices.

Rooting about in the school's cupboards we found a fantastic stash of old photos and used them to advertise the event, interest the adults and amaze the kids.

One of the primary one boys got the day off to a cracking start by solemnly announcing that he didn't live in Macmerry but by the end of the day over a dozen people signed up to share their memories.

So as they say in all the best movies - watch this space over the next year folks for tales of excitement and daring do from Macmerry.
