NEMAA Art by Mac Stephenson

At our regular meeting last night, S Shields athlete Mac Stephenson attended briefly to present the NEMAA committee with a wonderful artwork that he has been busy with for several months. He called it a "doodle" but I think you'll all agree it's so much more than that - it's on a piece of wood that measures over 4 feet long and features lots of our local vests (and vets - you can try and guess which athletes might be featured!) as well as officials, and is based on events taking place at Monkton stadium on a typical league night. We think it's amazing, and as such it's now taking pride of place on the header of our main page - many thanks Mac, it's much appreciated.

For scale, here's a photo of the original with our chairman Ron Stewart and Mac just visible behind it!
