The 2006 Baipip
exhibition which was held in the Methodist Church Hall last Thursday the
14th September was a great success with well over 300 people visiting
the exhibition from all over the country. It was nice to see five of
Brierley's longest serving residents Freda Wilkinson, Herbert Vamplew,
Nigel Crossland, Tommy Winter and Alec Dyson all attending. It was also
a pleasure to meet David Nichol and Jillian Gamewell (nee Wilkinson) who
write to the web site on a regular basis. The volunteers Graham
Hotchins, Kaeran Vaines, Linda Gibson, Julie Sanderson, Alison Keating,
Hazel Devonport and Betty Ogley all played a big part in collecting 80
more names and dates to the photographs. Four more visitors it was
pleasing to see were brothers Gordon, John and Ron Steele and Annie Turner. Gordon,
John and Annie all write their memories of living in Brierley for this
web site. Richard Watson was on hand to answer history questions about
Brierley and Lynn White from Cudworth displayed her work on Sidlows in
the wood. Barbara Smith (nee Nixon) visited with copies of her father
Alan's book "Mothers Apple Pie".
David Horsefall a local disabled artist raised over
£100 for the Stroke Society while a painting he donated to Baipip
raises £112.50 in the raffle. A further £36.60 was raised by way of
donations. The money raised will be used for further collecting, copying
and archiving more photographs.
Lynette Horne from Haldane Close won the painting
with
