Harte Lodge avenged last year’s defeat and were the overall winners of all competitions this year and the trophy was presented by St Oswald's Worshipful Master, Michael Stephenson to Harte Lodge's man in the chair, Colin Wilson.
Colin thanked Duncan Maw, a member of both Lodges for organising the event on the night and to their generous Host, once again, Dave Lee (Longscar Lodge) who provided the food and facilities at his Pub, The Beaconsfield in Barnard Castle.
