Why does BVC now only produce a newsletter?
…except when we do other things too…
Also in 2006, thanks to a grant from Awards for All, BVC organised a ceremony to dedicate a new memorial, in Bowburn Community Centre, to those who gave their lives in the quest for coal. The memorial itself was donated by Bowburn Labour Party. It listed the 52 men and boys who were fatally injured at the local colliery and a further four who died at other collieries having transferred from Bowburn after it closed in 1967. BVC, with the help of Bowburn Banner Group and local churches, arranged a suitable service which was attended by numerous banners from the Durham coalfield and some 200 friends and relatives of those honoured and remembered by the memorial.
