Lorraine told me: “Debbie Westlake from the Legion has been a great help in providing promotional support. Once in Llandudno they will go onto the promenade and beach where they will meet the Mayor of Llandudno Francis Davies. On their return journey, they will cross the Britannia and Menai bridges, then onto Caernarvon before arriving at the Llanberis Slate Mines. And if you thought these two didn’t have enough to do, David and Lorraine are two of the organisers for the Sheep Dog trials at Harden Moss, a show renowned across the country and one of the major shows in the agricultural calendar. It also plays host to one of the oldest fell races in the country and a tractor run on the Sunday. To end the year David and Lorraine are finding time to get married. A quiet affair? Not exactly - 220 guests along with tractors, tepees and a “right good Yorkshire do.!” Then off to Norfolk and the South Coast in their motor home for a spot of very well-deserved peace and R and R. We wish them all the very best in their endeavours.
