....was the summer outing of the club held on a Sunday in mid June, for many years. I was financed mainly by the players and committee who took part in a weekly one shilling football sweep throughout the year with the club having several chances of winning prize money towards the outing.

The club usually paid for the hire of bus and when the amount of money was known of what had been accumulated from the football sweep the balance was made up from those involved in the outing and was never much.

The programme for the outing commenced in leaving at 9 o’clock and travelling to a country hostelry for coffee after which the sprint handicap was held in a field or park in the vicinity of Yetholm.

Then it was on to Wooler for lunch. After lunch, there continued the journey to Spittal for the afternoon where the putting competition took place. Across to Berwick where High tea was provided at the Tweed View Hotel. Following tea, we proceeded on the journey towards Swinton and when a flat looking grass field was spotted stopped for the football match between players and committee. Needless to say the players usually won.

On we went to arrive at the Plough Inn at Yetholm for the remainder of the evening where the domino tournament took place, at the end of which we had the the prizegiving for all the various events held during the day.
