Spooners were on hand to help open an adventure trail at the Longley School in Huddersfield. John Bentley did the honours for the Yorkshire region of Wooden Spoon by unveiling the commemorative plaque.
Committee members, Mich Dearman and Richard Smith enjoying the day with the retiring Wooden Spoon Projects Co-ordinator, Philip Blunden also in attendance.
The Head, Deputy Head and Ruth Hobson represented the school. Also in attendance were the current Captain of Huddersfield Golf Club, Robert Fuller, and last year’s Lady Captain of Golf, Jan McGill. Spoon became involved in the school after the Huddersfield Golf Club invited the Spoon the opportunity to organise a charity golf tournament at the wonderful venue, with the added bonus so no green fees to pay! From there, they discovered the school and it's need for an adventure trail. The trail, which Spoon funded to the tune of £12,000, will help the students better access the out of doors and enjoy their recreation time to the fullest.
