Chairman of Council Councillor Knapman said: “This is a great start to my fundraising efforts for my year in office. This day gives a chance for Members and Officers to relax the normal formal working relationships to benefit two very worthy local charities.”

The overall winner of the competition was Wendy Macleod an Officer of the Council who is pictured receiving her prize and the Don Spinks Trophy from Council Vice Chairman Councillor Penny Smith.
