Due to licensing restrictions by the land defence agency we have had no option but to change venue to Cramlington

On behalf of The North Eastern Area I would like to take this opportunity to thank the guys from Cramlington for their generosity and look forward to running this event together.

The North Eastern area held their AGM on Wednesday 6th December apart from the usual posts up for re-election, Alan Weighell decided that 20 years as Area delegate was enough, and stepped down from this post. Fortunately all the officers were prepared to stand for another term, and so all posts were filled un-opposed. This left us to co-opt some one to take the role of Area Delegate. No volunteers so as Area Chairman I stepped down and was co-opted into the role of Area Delegate, since no volunteers came forward to chair the Area Alan Weighell was co- opted into that Role. So on behalf of the North Eastern Area I would like to thank Alan for all he has done, and wish him well in his other roles within the society. Tom Jones Area PRO
