At the Rally we managed to gather up past County Presidents, Chairs and staff for a photo to celebrate the county’s 90[th] Anniversary. A celebratory Ball was held in November at St James Park. In the Autumn the federation partnered up with the NFU North East, Northumbria Police, Fire Service and security companies to provide a Crime Prevention Workshop at Hexham Auction Mart.
