Start Fitness North Eastern Harrier League Presentation Night

The annual end of season presentation night for the Start Fitness sponsored North Eastern Harrier League,
took place at the sponsors premises on Grainger Street, in the warm and welcome Camber Coffee Bar
on the evening of Thursday 11th April 2019, and was well attended by expectant prize winners,
and their respective club representatives and supporters.

Amongst those present, were several from Morpeth Harriers, who were extremely successful in team affairs, especially on the Male side, where they captured four league titles, and in addition had team success in the combined Under17/Under20 Women’s competition.

Master of Ceremonies for the night was League Secretary Micky Baker, who was ably assisted by NECAA Chairman Bill McGuirk, who provided individual information on each winner for a captive audience,
​but not quite Ant and Dec, or Morecambe and Wise for that matter.

Opening Presentations were for the Individual Grand Prix,
where four Morpeth Harriers were amongst the recipients.

​and Emma Holt were winners of the Under 17 Men’s,
Under 17/Under 20 Women’s, and Senior Women’s Grand Prix’s.
