VOTE for the Newbridge Memo! That is the message from this tireless group of volunteers who want to transform the fortunes of the glorious building.

The Friends of Newbridge Memo are urging everyone in Gwent to pick up their phones and make the call that could help win them £3m.

Voting in the Welsh heats of the BBC Restoration show has begun, but ends at midnight tomorrow.

The Memo will be competing against Cardigan Castle and Llanfyllin Workhouse in the Welsh round, and the result will be announced on Sunday.

If victorious, it will go through to the national final in August.

Howard Stone, chairman of The Friends of Newbridge Memo, is pictured sitting with, from left, Barbara Bevan, Tracey Lewis, Beryle Blanche, Malcolm Jones, Liz Hook, Becca Hook and Lyndon Bevan.

He said: "Things don't just happen - you have to make them happen." Restoration will be shown at 9pm on BBC2 tonight and at 8.30pm tomorrow on BBC2W.
