September 8th, Beamish Trophy Trial, a foggy drizzly day greeted 130 competitors for a 105 mile reliability test in the wilds of Weardale. Despite the weather, loose rocks on Haggs Bank, Tea trail steps, slippery High House Lonnen everybody seemed to be smiling as they exited the Velvet Path near the end.

Awards night at the Cricket Club, Middleton St George on 7th November, all welcome for prize draws, raffle and buffet.
