On Thursday 17th February 2011 the Barnesbury CC, represented by Stephen and Louise McIntosh were invited to the Northumberland Sports Awards evening at Linden Hall. This was in recognition of the Barnesbury's hard work and dedication in developing the sport at Gallagher Park, Bedlington for youngsters to get involved in cycle related activity. Stephen said "It was a great evening to recognise the effort of young people within the development of all sport in Northumberland. It was a lovely way to celebrate my birthday."
