Next monthly meeting is on Tuesday 1st September: Amanda Hepburn will speak on North-East inventions
Amanda writes, "So proud of my city Newcastle that it was, and is, a hub of inventions. Even writing this talk it still surprises me what we were the first to invent. From ships to bridges, from drinks to sausage rolls, from lights to medical breakthroughs. All North East firsts, and interestingmstories of how they were developed."

Amanda’s early experience as an actress and singer gave her the confidence to perform, so tour guiding — and storytelling — felt like a natural next step. Amanda began guiding on Catherine Cookson tours in South Tyneside, then worked in the Victoria Tunnel and with the National Trust. She later became a Newcastle City Guide and completed the professional exams to qualify as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide for the North East. Amanda now leads walking tours, coach tours, visits to historic sites, and occasionally manages tours elsewhere in Britain.

The Rural Digital Inclusion Project runs informal training sessions across Northumberland, and are looking for volunteers.
