The Annual Northallerton Tower Dinner 2007.

Our annual dinner was held in The Tithe Bar Brasserie on 20th January 2007.  In addition to our ringers and their partners, we were able to welcome The Reverend and Mrs Howard Smith together with ringing friends from York, County Durham, Wearside, Yorkshire, and  Lancashire.

The pictures below give a flavour of the evening.
