Having been staged at various locations in the North East, the Proper Food & Drink Festival made its Newcastle debut at McCracken Park. Despite rain on the Saturday, everyone seemed to have a great weekend. We gained a lot of new interest from people coming to the club for the first time. Sunday was boosted by the weather and ended with England lifting the cricket world cup!!!
