Schoolgirl's bid to honour Barmouth's Titanic hero

Taken from the BBC Wales News website
A schoolgirl has launched a campaign to create a memorial to Titanic hero Harold Lowe in his home town.

Maddie Matthews, 15, of Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd, was shocked to learn Barmouth has no plaque to mark the sailor's efforts to rescue survivors.

Fifth Officer Lowe, played by Hollywood actor Ioan Gruffudd in the 1997 film, rowed a lifeboat back to pull four people from the freezing water.

Maddie wants the memorial up in time for the tragedy's centenary in 2012.

She is juggling her revision for GCSEs with writing letters to local councils and historical organisations to drum up support.

Facebook Campaign

Are you a facebook user?

Have you joined in the campaign to support the "We are for Llanbedr Airfield Opening".

With a lack of jobs since the airfield closed down, Kemble Estates are trying to open this former airfield again. In this part of Wales there is an urgency for jobs, and, over time, if the airfield was to reopen, jobs would be created, not just by Kemble, but other businesses who would be leasing the building on the former RAF site, stopping people moving out of the area in search of jobs. By joining this group you are for the airfield reopening, and fully support the future of the site. (Group administrator).

There are currently over 1,000 people supporting this campaign, join in, we need your support.

To find this campaign in facebook, simply search for Llanbedr Airfield in facebook
