After Terry Gallagher and Ray Hamilton cured a chronic problem with the flagpole attachments a new flag has been purchased. This was due to the generosity of a number of club members especially David Hunter who put their hands in their pockets to pay for the new flag made by AA Flags of Consett.
Thank you all.

We have been pro-active in attracting funding. A big thank you to Richard Jones for his efforts in doing this. We have put the money to good use. New LED floodlights have been installed and the CCTV upgraded so we can now cover the pitches and patio area. With the funds raised we are also able to afford new strips, a new set each for the men and ladies are on their way.
