Joe Faulkner - UK Adventure Race Club / 19.01.2012
The annual AR Ball is looming large; there is quite a bit of history to this with it originally being staged by Sir Phil Humphreys and Ace Races. Latterly, its been organized by the AR community itself, hence www.pie-eater.com. The Ball is held on a Saturday evening and costs just £30 which includes the highly anticipated Annual AR Awards Ceremony as well as buffet meal and entertainment from legendary Cumbrian ceilidh band 'Striding Edge'.
