2023 Coronation Party 7th May
Report by Dave Simpson
Organised by Julie Swales and assisted by our chairman Ian Parminter.
The YDCCC coronation run started off on a warm sunny day in the best
possible way with bacon butties and hot drinks at the football club to
fortify the intrepid crews, of which we had fourteen, a good turnout.
Fully fuelled with tea and food, mostly tops down, off we went, way out
west and north, via the usual villages to Yarm and beyond. Circling
around the outskirts of Darlington and Barnard Castle, returning via
Ravensworth, Richmond and all country roads as usual, back to the
football club where the bar was open and a very nice hot buffet of
pulled pork and buns or curry. Very welcome after a hard day on the
trail.
Prizes were awarded for the best hat to Norma, who must have spent days
making her crown and Jim and Janet for their original costume. Jim suits
a Pinny, you can tell where he spends his time at home.
Another great club event well organised by Julie and Ian, with any
mistakes on the route instructions by Ian and all correct turns by Julie
-well, according to Julie.
Members entered into the spirit with a good display of crowns/hats which
all made a fun day.
