Before I give the details of Octobers events, it would be remiss of me not to remark on the sad and untimely death of Ada Gardener.

Ada, who was 62yrs old, died suddenly on Thursday 27th September. Alongside her husband, David, she worked tirelessly at Cockfield club for many years and was one of the key players in saving the club from going into liquidation. As well as her bar duties, Ada was treasurer and helped to raise club funds with raffles etc and despite her ailing health, was always prepared to go that ‘extra mile’ for the good of the club. She will be sorely missed.

The Funeral service is at St. Mary’s Church, Cockfield, on Thursday, October 4, at 2.00 p.m., followed by cremation at Darlington. Friends please meet at the church. Family flowers only please, if desired donations for The Salvation Army may be sent care of John Blenkiron & Sons Ltd, Funeral Directors, 19 Galgate, Barnard Castle. DL12 8EQ.
