Northern Centres

This year's Northern Centres Rally was held at Grange Park, Wetherby over the August Bank Holiday weekend.  It proved to be an excellent venue and was a highly successful rally for North Yorkshire in the sporting arena and also in the Arts and Crafts Competitions.

 

Andy and I would like to say a huge thank you to all the competitors and their magnificent supporters - you were all brilliant.  The children ran as though their lives depended on it in the Children's Sports and won the Harold Dean Trophy (awarded to the Centre with the most points in Children's Sports) for North Yorkshire.  The Chairman had the honour and privilege of accepting the trophy, on behalf of the Centre, at the closing ceremony.

We entered teams in every event and they all did the Centre proud.  The principal successes were as follows:

 

Bar Darts - Winners

 

Ladies Netball - Runners -up

Gents Quoits - Runners-up

Boys' Tug of War - Runners-up

Teenage Tug of War - Runners-up

Quiz Team - Runners-up

More detailed results will be put on the Sports Page.  Daniel Loughran was the Overall Winner in the Fun Run.

The Keith Gell Memorial Shield (awarded to the most promising young footballer at Northern Centres) was shared between Alex Wyke Ulliott and Joe Futcher.  Well done Alex and Joe.

The Centre did very well in the Arts and Crafts Competition and were successful in retaining the Campbells Cup for a second time.  Detailed results will be posted on the Sports Page along with our successes in the Children's Fancy Dress Competition.

Evie Padgett was the Overall Winner in the Children's Fancy Dress Competition as "The Old Lady who lived in a Shoe".  Well done Evie.  Evie received the Margaret Martin Trophy.

 

Once again Andy and I are indebted to you for support - You are THE BEST!!!

 

Bernard and Andy

Thanks again
Linda and Ian Innes alias Ladbrokes for the night!!,

Thetford Fridges (24/02/11)

As you know there have been a number of problems with Thetford fridges. Some to do with sooting up the flue and discolouring the outside of the caravan, some to do with fumes in the caravan and in one severe case the fridge actually caught fire.
I have had some problems with my Thetford fridge and have taken them up with Thetford, trading standards and through the Northern region committee have tried to coordinate how many people have had fridges that have caused problems.
The advice given by trading standards is as follows:
When buying a caravan always register the fridge with the maker, make sure the caravan is set up level, for safety have a carbon monoxide detector fitted in the caravan and have your fridge serviced annually, as per makers recommendations.
If you do have any issues about Thetford fridges then you should contact Trading Standards, Sheffield office who have taken up this issue on behalf of all members in the Northern Region who have had problems. You should contact David Reid, Trading Standards Enforcement Officer, Sheffield. Tel: 0114 2736286.
I can say that following a meeting with David Reid and Thetford; Thetford supply and sell 70,000 units annually and the reported problems are low. As for the fridge units they meet all directives necessary to be accepted as a safe, suitable for use appliance.
