Perhaps PB used to frequent the WMCs of Oswaldtwistle and became jealous of the old codgers with an inflated sense of self-importance who used to have six ballpoint pens in the breast pocket of their blazer and a rather large enamel badge on their lapel telling everyone they were concert secretary, chairman or something similar. This is the image conjured up in my mind when I read of his medal.:)

Bernard was Ed Saville never leader:confused:

Re: Synergistic Spending in Hyndburn
 

I think you're probably right, I think Ed was the leader for a short while. I was trying to remember whether Ken Curtis was also the leader of the Council for a couple of years.

Betty Court is another name that comes to mind. I've feeling Betty was the leader of the Council for a couple of years. It's embarrassing really, I should really know all the leaders in the last thirty years.

Re: Synergistic Spending in Hyndburn
 

Another name has just come to mind Bernard, John Culshaw, was he not leader before becoming Mayor, I know he died not long after his mayoralty, thought he took over when ED Savill when he left to go into the ministry

Re: Synergistic Spending in Hyndburn
 

No john was never the leader. He was the deputy to George Slynn. He was also a very good deputy to George. John no doubt would have made a good leader in his own right , but he was happy to support George.

Re: Synergistic Spending in Hyndburn
 

John was a really nice bloke spoke to him on a number of occasions, he and his Wife were friendly with one of my Daughters and was at her engagement party at Sydney Street Club, it was very sad when he died, he was a very genuine person and an excellent councillor who has been missed
