This is a photo of great friends of mine, Ces and Doreen Tate, who will be celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary on the 14th of February – Valentines Day.

Ces was a tanker driver at Teesport and then at Jarrow when Teesport closed. Ces ran the Teesside branch of 44 club for many years organising many meetings which we all enjoyed.

They are both very active members of the local bowling team and Doreen keeps fit by playing badminton twice a week and loves spoiling their grand children and great-grand children.

We wish them many more happy years together.

This was the scene that greeted us on Thursday morning (2nd December), the day of our Christmas lunch at The Tribridge Hotel near Great Ayton! Thank goodness the snow didn't stay too long so 20 members were able to attend. We were met by very friendly staff who later served us with an excellent meal.

It was so good to catch up with old friends, who we haven't seen for quite a long time, talking over old times.

Thanks to Bram & Moira for organising a very enjoyable afternoon. 

A snowy start to the day!

Christmas Lunch – 2 December 2021

​After a gap of nearly two years, because of covid restrictions, 15 members of the Teesside branch met on 6th October at the Tree Bridge Hotel, Stokesley.

Great food great company great venue. It was good to see all these old friends again after such a long time so there was quite a lot of catching up to do. The afternoon past quickly and it was soon time to leave but we agreed to meet there again in December.

Thanks to Bram & Moira Alport for organising a very enjoyable afternoon
