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.
