The Pontefract &DARS have been successful with their entry in the RSBB Club of the Year and will go on to the National finals to be judged shortly. As RSGB region 4 winners they pick up a handsome engraved shield sponsored by LAM Communications, and a framed Certificate. Their entry will be judged along with the other 12 regional winning entries thoughout the UK. 1st. prize is £1,000 plus the coverted RSGB Club of the Year trophy! 2nd. prize is £500 & the 3rd. prize £250. The winning clubs will be announced, along with presentations, at the RSGB AGM in Derby on Saturday 16th. April.

Before this award went National last year, the Pontefract &DARS did win the first ever RSGB region 4 Award back in 2008 and were presented with their trophy & certificate by the RSGB president Colin Thomas, G3PSM at the Newcastle AGM in April 2009. I am sure all of us in RSGB region 4 wish them the very best luck. Come on "Ponty" bring that trophy home to region 4!!

All clubs that submitted entries will also recieve a Certificate of Merit. The quality of all entries was very high.
