Sponsored by Linden Homes, the well-known housing provider and developer,
Morpeth Harriers & AC held their annual Fundraising and Presentation Night
at Bar Luga in Morpeth on the evening of Sunday 20th November 2016.

Guest of honour for the night was Steve McCoy, Managing Director of the sponsor,
who came along to present the awards, bringing along with him ten-year-old son Oscar,
himself an enthusiastic gymnast, who was eager to meet his young athletic counterparts.

McCoy indicated that his company was very honoured to be involved with one of the country’s top athletic clubs,
and marvelled at achievements that they had made, especially working within a tight catchment base.
​
He also declared himself a member of one of the clubs’ rivals Sunderland Strollers,
however did not find enough time to toe the start line as often as he wished,
however was very aware of the high calibre of competition that Morpeth Harriers engaged in.

Complete list of Awards
In addition to the club’s Road Championship awards, which also received
a direct line of sponsorship from Linden Homes, various club awards
were presented for both competitive and performance, and service achievements.
​
The final major awards of the night were that of the Most Improved Athlete and Most
Improved Young Athlete which went to Mark Snowball and Matthew Waterfield respectively.

​In non – competitive fields, awards for Long Service
and Promoting the Club in the Community
went to event organiser Kevin Bray, and Josie Goodfellow for establishing
and organising a club training group in outlying Amble.

Following the main presentation, event organiser Paddy Paulsen, who had worked tirelessly
around the clock to ensure that the function went successfully, presented personal prizes
to Club Secretary Mike Bateman, and Club Coach David Thomas for their Service
and General contribution throughout the year,
and many thanks to her for once again organising a superb event,
helped on the night by son Hans, and husband Egil.

Throughout the proceedings, all those present were treated to a
video show of some of the clubs’ year long achievements,
put together by webmaster Hud Stoker from a collection
of photographs that he had taken, which was well received.

Many thanks go to the management and the very attentive staff
at Bar Luga for the superb food and splendid hospitality.

Thanks also to John Beynon for the provision of PA equipment,
albeit at last minute, with additional help and assistance from
Club President Jim Alder, and Committee Member Bob Appleby.
​
Finally, many thanks to Club Sponsors Linden Homes for their continued generosity,
and to their Managing Director Steve McCoy for his kind attendance, and making presentations.

Here’s to the next one in 2017.
