WT: Why is it important that the colliery bands of the area continue to practice and perform? PLD: When the colliery bands started they were funded directly by the colliery, each village/ town had their own brass band that represented the colliery - it was almost a form of extracurricular activity outside of their manual work, something to bring the workers together. As more and more collieries opened there were more brass bands, then bands that would locally compete or perform together in a celebration of their heritage. When the collieries closed fewer and fewer bands remained. They are now fined by the band members as well as local and national funding bodies. Although the origin of the bands no longer exists, the bands serve a purpose in not only keeping alive the identity of the region but are a very real (and loud!) contemporary reminder of industrial heritage, camaraderie and resilience in the face of adversity (Thatcher's government). With thanks to Patrick for sharing 'Community Embers' with us. To read more about the project, head over to the website. https://buff.ly/3WZ7pDL

Proud Salute to Our National Flag on this precious day of Independence! This post is a lengthy one but worthy! While chatting with my daughter, she was demanding our National Flag for Independence Day celebration at her school! I refused to purchase strictly! Though she was little sad, she was questioning me "Why"! My thought is, first of all our National Flag should not be for sale! It should not be a business! My Daughter has asked immediately then "how come we host it and celebrate our National Festival?" Really it's a difficult and genuine concern! But it can be regularised in proper manner if we are really concerned about our National Flag's respect. Bcz on 15th and 26th we are giving respect, but on the next day it becomes just a paper on the street... It really hurts! To avoid it, the Government can distribute the flags on Free of Cost through the distribution centres. It can be distributed with ID proof submission with an Advance deposit. The flags should be in clothes only not on the Paper. The advance will be refunded on return of the Flag. Government can take 1% of service charges to run the distribution centres and payment to the officials. This is only about a week program! All institutions, offices, Societies and Public can utilise this benefit in spending the big amount to purchase the flags. 1% will not even bother anyone. The government can revisit the expenses to finalize the service charges. Even the flags can be kept safe for the next event or recycle it safely according to the rules defined. Another question she raised about the street seller's income... My answer was, the street sellers are running their own main business and this flag selling is only an additional income which is not their monthly Target. They can sacrifice it as their regular business still exists. These are all only suggestions and an individual thought to save our National Flag's respect... Finally my Daughter was convinced and agreed not to purchase the National Flag. At least we as an individual can avoid purchasing flags as it is not possible practically for anyone to keep at our home with its respect. If our Government also will think this view and work on more other possibilities may be good. In Simple words, Our National Flag has its own respect but not for business!
