Swaledale Road Runners

What a marvellous night we had at Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall! Thank you to everyone who brought along a contribution to the buffet. We had enough food to feed an army! After we had all eaten our fill we celebrated a wonderful season of running by presenting our 22 club shields and trophies. It was great to share in the sporting successes of our members and also have the opportunity to say thank you to some of those who dedicate so much time and effort to make the club what it is. For those winners who were unable to join us, the trophies can be collected from club nights this week.

Thanks to Richie for organising the world's biggest raffle. He even organised Father Christmas to draw the tickets! We are extremely grateful to Swaledale Outdoors Ltd, Richmond Leisure Trust, Mainsgill Farm, Richmond Brewing Company and also many of our members for generously donating some fantastic prizes.

We all really enjoyed the music provided by the fabulously talented Blue Skies. Who knew Pauline and Julia were such demons on the dance floor? The evening was rounded off with a few festive carols courtesy of Kate.

Thank you to the committee for the lovely flowers which were a wonderful surprise. Last but most certainly not least, an enormous thanks to Oonagh and all the social committee for organising such a wonderful night.
