CONGRATULATIONS to Whitley Chapel Young Farmers tug o’ war team which went into the national finals on Saturday, August 1, as the Northern Area winning team.
The final was held at the Tenbury Wells Agricultural Show in Worcestershire and Whitley Chapel went on to win the national championship. It is the first time a team from Northumberland has won this competition.
Well done to the dedicated team of local lads who have regularly trained hard to achieve this well-deserved success.
Thanks to Hilary Kristensen for sharing this great news.
GOOD luck to everyone entering classes at Slaley Show this weekend. Let’s hope the weather doesn’t spoil things too much.
THE ’Shire walk will take place this morning (Friday, August 7), at 9.30am, beginning at the parish hall.
DON’T forget Ladycross Quarry is holding an open day on Saturday, August 15. For more information, please contact Joan Jewitt, Tel. (01434) 673245.
