Well done to everyone who took part in the Junior Tug of War at northern area which was held at thirsk auction market. We won the competition overall. It was a brilliant day out, thankyou to Andrew Howe for Coaching us and to the rest of the club and parents for your support. 

I hope that you all enjoyed the trip to the wool board. They really enjoed having us and we will try organising more trips like this

Our annual harvest auction raised a massive £730. This money is being donated to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, truly deserving I'm sure you'll all agree!

A big thank you to all the members and supporters, especially those who donated items to sell. The cakes, breads, jams, etc and not least Kevin's Bonfire toffee all looked scrumptious. After a few refreshments Phil soon regained his voice and thank you to the Dog & Partridge for their kind hospitality.

I think I'm speaking on behalf of everyone who went up to Pately Bridge for the County Rally weekend in saying what a absolutely brilliant time everyone had! The weather was glorious while Penistone pulled hard in the heat, and batted well in the rounders. Big well done to both Tug of War & rounders teams as you did us proud and a massive thanks to Andrew for doing a marvelous job training us up, we'll be back next year for more!!! Altogether the weekend was a massive success as we did fantastic in the Rally with many 1sts & 2nds, thanks to all the parents who took the members up for a memorable weekend and all the work everyone has put in, it was worth it!

WELL DONE!!!

A Chocoholics delightful evening was enjoyed by all at Langsette Barn when the 'chocolate man' came to visit. We all learnt a little about the making of chocolate and there was no shortage of volunteers when it came to having ago themselves. However, the highlight of the evening was tasting the chocolate and everyone forced themselves to taste some, it was getting them to stop that was the hard part! A very successful evening which we will have to do again.

THANKYOU CHOCOLATE MAN!!! 

A fantastic night with everyone getting into the christmas spirit! There was plenty of games, dancing and entertainment many thanks to resident DJ George Orrell. The chocolate fountain was defiantly a big hit and many thanks to those who brought in food on the night and helped run the evening.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
