- I am Pete Millington. Welcome to Spaghetti Gazetti - a Blog of heritage, history, arts, community, social enterprise and culture across the West Midlands region. News on events, projects and people from Birmingham, Dudley, Coventry, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Solihull, Sandwell, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire and Shropshire. Also selected articles from the Gazette series of local magazines of which I am editor, circulation 100,000 per month. I am the Information and Marketing Manager at Birmingham Disability Resource Centre where I am also carrying out oral history research into the history of the Centre at Bierton Road, Yardley. I operate a text to audio transcription service and alongside my colleague Ray Gormley produce oral history products under the banner of Talking History. I have recently become an official Ambassador for Girl Guiding for Birmingham. Send me your news to: editorialgazette@googlemail.com
