Not only did the group win the Club of the Year award at the Northumberland Young Farmers County AGM in November, bringing the accolade back to the village for the first time in 40 years, but it also collaborated for a show with Coquetdale Young Farmers.

The two clubs put on a performance at the annual county pantomime competition. They managed to string together a cast of seven members and wrote and directed a performance from scratch.

They performed Goldilox And The Three Scenes In Between, which went down fantastically with the crowd.

Comments from the three judges included: “That was the funniest thing I have ever seen”, “You should be writing for TV comedy”, and “Utterly unbelievable”.

Daniel Graham also won Best Actor in the whole county for his performance.

And because of its success, the two groups are joining forces again for Tritlington and Coquetdale’s Night of Entertainment, on Thursday, March 29, for those who missed it the first time round.
