STAFF at Northallerton's specialist delicatessen enjoyed a winning weekend outdoors in the North Yorks National Park.

The team of ten from Lewis and Cooper shed their inhibitions and spent two days building their confidence and individual abilities.

The fine food store beat off stiff competition to be the lucky winners of a training programme, which was held by Pete Rigg at its centre near Cropton Village. Housed in a refurbished 19th century farmhouse, the team completed a range of indoor and outdoor training pursuits.Bettina Howard, Lewis and Cooper's general manager, was on the course and said the whole experience was very valuable. "It was absolutely excellent and we all thought that we benefited from it a lot. "
