OFFICALS at an athletics club are hoping to track down some of its original runners and field competitors for a reunion to mark its 20th anniversary.

Teesdale Athletic Club has 70 men, women and junior members, who meet for training sessions in Barnard Castle, County Durham.

But the hunt is on for more than 80 past members since it was launched in 1984 and it is hoped many will return for the reunion on Sunday, May 30.

The reunion coincides with the club hosting a 10km race in the grounds of Raby Castle, at nearby Staindrop.

In the evening, a buffet meal and ceilidh will be held at the Jersey Farm Hotel, in Barnard Castle.

Club secretary Liz Lamb said yesterday: "Some of our former members still live in the area but others have moved away. We want to trace as many as possible for the 20- year celebration."

Mrs Lamb can be contacted on (01833) 638970.
