Over the years 1983 and 1984, the Hartlepool District Clubs were all involved in a fund raising campaign to fund two specialist Egerton Beds for use with Spinal Injuries at St Hilda’s Hospital, all under the aegis of the Steve Bartholomew Fund. A series of Representative matches, Fun Runs and Raffles by all Clubs produced the money and one of the many presentations held was at Horden CW RFC. Our picture show the cheque handed over to Bill Bowden for the Fund following the 1983 Fun run and pictured are:-
