Northern FC

have won

Innovation Club of the Year

at the Club Awards 2019


The black tie awards were once again held at Doncaster Racecourse. This is the 8th year in a row Northern have attended, picking up an award on each occation. The night is great for networking with other clubs from accross the country, finding out different techniques to generate buisness in the club sector. Guests are treated to a free beer festival on arrival. We didn't get too carried away, knowing there was the chance to get up on stage later in the evening. Northern were up for two awards on the night. These were Rugby Club of the Year, which we were lucky to win on three pervious occations, and Innovative Club of the Year. I think the reason we picked up innovative club is down to the work carried out in the Terrace Bar and transforming two smaller rooms into one bigger room known as The Sports Lounge. We also held a food and drink festival at the club. Despite the weather, everyone had a great time and we will be looking into hosting similar events in the future. The festival attracted a lot of new people from the local community to the club and we hope they will visit us on a regular occation now. 


The awards were steamed on the Club Mirror website on the evening. Here is a short video of us collecting our awards and having a quick chat with host, John Inverdale.
