I have sent each Federation secretary a list of pick up times , this year we will pick up with 4 wagons instead of 5 saving £170 per race on wages, approx £3,000 over the inland races

Wagon 1 Lemington 6.00. Benwell 6.20. Scotswood 6.00
Greenside. 7.00. Highfield. 7.15. Winlaton. 7.30

Wagon 2. Tynedale. 6.00. Prudhoe. 6.30. Chopwell. 6.45
Shotley Bridge 7.00. Medomsley 7.15
Leadgate. 7.25. Delves 7.40. Langley Park. 8.10
Hamilton Row 8.25 Bearpark 8.45
New Brancepeth. 9.00

Wagon 3. Burnhopefield 6.15. Annfield Plain 6.30
Burnhope. 6.45. Southmoor 7.00. Craghead. 7.15

Wagon 4. Willington Pros 6.00. Willington 6.15 Leeholme 6.35

Garage to collect trailer with Billy Row and Tow Law
Toft Hill. 8.15. Cockfield. 8.30 Evenwood 8.40
West Auck. 8.50. Cockerton 8.20. Railway Ins 9.30

Richmond will be collected between 8.30 to 9.00 by a north wagon then transferred onto Darlington wagon

Routes have been chosen with location and basket numbers in mind to try and ensure that all the Federation baskets are on the same wagon

All times are approx and drivers will have phone numbers to advise of any problems

After first week we expect to be taking 3 wagons and 2 trailers to race depending on numbers but will still be collected by 4 wagons

As usual I expect some members not to be happy with changes but £3,000 is a significant amount of money to save
