Bedale Leisure Centre hosted the Hambleton and Richmondshire Area Schools annual swimming gala last week with Richmond School winning three of the six age categories.

Organised by Mr Lee Wasden of Wensleydale School, the championships were judged and timed on the day by members of the Richmond and Dales swimming club who officiated with great credit.

The recording was performed by Y11 students from Bedale High School who used their laptop computers to produce results sheets for staff to take away immediately after the competition.
