BBC West Midlands Radio have said that apparently Noel Gordon's Grave
is in a very bad state.

Ed Doolan the DJ said he will be notifying the appropriate people
about how bad her grave is.

(thanks to John Brayne who informed CAS of the news)

Bit sad really, I know for a long time people from CAS did go and
make it look nice ect, but I don't think there is anyone in the area
who can really keep an eye on it. Well at least there are still
people within the BBC who think Noele should have a bit more respect.
Shame no one at Carlton-Central think the same way.

You know, as you do, you're searching the net and suddenly something
is found that you're quite surprised at. And this one is to do with
Nolly!

http://www.bdtg.fsnet.co.uk/new_page_8.htm

This page lists the Birmingham & District Theatre Guild Awards. And
there is The Noele Gordon Trophy for most outstanding female
performance.

Nice to see that all these years on her name is still one associated
with her dedication to acting!

I am and can't believe she'll have been gone 20 years next year.  It
was lovely seeing clips last night on When Soaps Changed The World.

Dear Channel 4,

How about a programme about Noele Gordon and replacing Friends with
Crossroads?

Patsy

Apparently, I've not seen it myself, there is a feature on the Soap
and Glory programme in the Inside Soap magazine.

It is a shame she's not around. Especially to see how popular she
still is 24 years after she left Crossroads.

Apparently there is something in this months Inside Soap about the
Soap and Glory programme. But its just what I've been told so I can't
say more than that.

is n  e  one missing the great legendary noele gordon she was the
queen of crossroads

Ooh great news!  Though *when* it gets shown (after all that 80's
Mania thing tonight has been on the shelves for 3 years!) it'll
probably be on after 10pm.

Patsy

Thanks Mike, can't wait to hear of further news and watch the finished article!

Probably has taken them so long as they are still ashamed of the terribly shabby
way they treated Noele

   Well as television schedules and programmes can sometimes be dumped I
   can't say that 100% this will be shown, but Granada Television are
   making a programme called Soap And Glory.

   The Appreciation Society has give some help to the programme for a
   tribute to Noele. They say they want to show how popular she was, and
   how with her at the helm Crossroads often beat Coronation Street to
   the top spot.

   They also wanted to know the year she won most glam woman on TV -
   which we believe was 1980, the year she also was voted best dressed
   person on TV and had a range of clothes out in the shops under the
   title of "the Noele Gordon Collection" (I wonder how many people still
   have a Noele Gordon in their wardrobe?)

   Anyway if I hear anymore about the show I'll let you know - its about
   time ITV paid tribute to her seen as the BBC did in 1991.

Dear John

I am interested in the Noele Gordon TV Programme you sent details about.

Could you let me know how much it will be for a copy.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Have now added a joint interview with Gordon Jackson, conducted after
they both won TV Times Top 10 awards in 1975 for the previous year.
Was going to separate them but couldn't be bothered.

Patsy

Have added a couple more theatre cast lists - one from July 1939!
Nolly was so young then.  Shame there's no pics in these damn
things.

Patsy

I'm sure a few of you here will be members of the Crossroads
Appreciation Society.

Well Meg's Motel, is up and running, well there is a lot more to add
but it'll be bringing a lot of the items the Appreciation Society
have in storage to the public via the website.

There is a link to it on the man Crossroads Fan Club site, however in
true mike style i've forgotten the URL!

Hopefully tho it'll be a good site to the "memory of Meg and her
motel" The Crossroads Appreciation Society returns!

If anyone has any Meg/Noele suggestions for the site then let me know
I'll pass it on to John at the App Soc and see what we can do.


Mike

Another year passes since she left us.  Be 20 years before we know
it.  Gone so quickly.  Still, at least she can rest easy now that
this joke Carlton have been playing on the fans is nearly over.

Patsy

Well i'm glad people like the new site, everyone is welcome to
provide information thoughts or such.

Not sure how official it is but a new site "Megs Motel" might be
appearing in the future by the people behind the old Crossroads
Appreciation Society.

That I'm sure will be a lasting tribute to Noele. I don't know any
more than that at the moment but i hope it happens it should be
something for all Nolly fans to enjoy.

I know what you mean Mike.  I've been busy too since getting my new
puppy a month ago.  I'm so behind with everything from emails to
giving my profile info!  But the site is coming along great.  You
should be very proud.  Wish I was as clever as that.

Patsy

Oh I'm the first message of 2003.. it's not out of neglect,its i've
been busy getting Return To Crossroads, Crossroads Years and
Crossroads Fan Club into one super-site.

Anyway its almost done, but now we have a more secure Crossroads Fan
Club hopefully We'll be able to do more in the way of the memory of
Noele - even if it is just a few of us visiting from time to time to
make sure her place of rest is loved.

Early stages but i think its something that can be worked on.

Aww, that was a really lovely thing to do, Ian.  Thank you.  At least
there are some of us out here who still remember her.  I've never
been to visit her grave sadly.  It's a bit difficult without
transport - or money!  But I'm determined to one day.  I finally got
to Golders Green crem last year to pay my respects to Yootha Joyce so
I'll get to visit Nolly one of these days.

I don't blame her not never forgiving him.  Ronnie Allen said it was
that which killed her really.

Patsy

Many thanks to everyone who has joined over the past 12 months, as
well as to all of you who joined last year.  Have a great time
tonight and I look forward to more chatting in 2003!  :-)

Patsy

Hi All :

I was in Ross-on-Wye on Boxing Day and visited Noele's grave there.
I was dissapointed to see that no flowres at all were placed to
celebrate her birthday and Christmas, so I placed a small posy in
rememberence of her on behalf of all members of the club.

Also, you may be interested to know that Noele never forgave Jack
Barton for his role in her sacking - she felt that he could have
prevented this.  For those of you that have the final episode of
Noele on the QE2 departing from Southampton, if you look closely you
can see Jack standing to her left on the final shot of the ship.

Happy New Year to All.

Warm regards

Ian

That's some toasting, Mike!  When will your liver recover?  :-)

Yes, it's been a sad year for Crossroads fans.  What with losing
Sandor, Zeph and Jack in such a short space of time.  But it's lovely
to know Nolly is still remembered these days and just as loved.  So
here's to Nolly.  Hope she had a wonderful birthday, wherever she is.

Patsy

I'm sure she wouldn't have minded me raising a whole bottle of wine
to her would she? I'm sure not, still it was very nice, now new
years eve, have a drink for Nolly, Roger, Zepth, Jack, Sandor oh...
just have a glass for each and all the sadly passed away Crossroads
stars!

I'll recover about March! See you then!

Cheers!

I hope everyone has a wonderful one.  And remember, it would have
been Nolly's birthday tomorrow, so raise a glass to her.  :-)

Patsy

>Thank all of you for your kind rememberence.  If you have any
questions, I will be pleased to answer

There has been many times in the past when "we wonder what noele
would make of it" has crept up. Now the nearest thing we get to
finding out and i cant think of anything to ask.

Oh well at least the option is always there now.

Mike

I've uploaded 2 in the first Noele album.

Hi Ian and welcome!

I agree and even Ronnie Allen blamed her sacking for her illness.

I'm hoping Yahoo will stop being a pain and accept the 5 at the end
of 1985.  But for some strange reason it cuts it off!  I'm still
trying though.
