The meeting was chaired by a very nervous, James. Ideas where passed around about the name, colours and costs of the club and most importantly the very first training session, Sunday the 2nd February both meeting and training session were well attended. The Travellers Rest had now become the official headquarters. 

The club colours were influenced by a local historian (Kevin Richardson) who informed us that the village colours are green and white. So after consideration is was decided at a meeting on the 16th February the strip would be emerald green and white vests with black shorts, this meeting also acknowledged the name of the club to be "Evenwood Road Runners" followed by nominations of committee members, fees and constitution rules for the club. During this period the club sought affiliation to the recently amalgamated North of England Athletic Association.

In December a vote was cast to use the logo that depicted the Coke Ovens, as most people in the area could associate them with Evenwood. The logo was designed by Darren Fairclough after being given a photo of the Ovens by Peggy Fuller (Landlady of the Travellers Rest). This was in favour over the stag logo designed by James Sowerby

In the the last 15 years we moved HQ to the Sports and Social club which then shut down and once again relocated back to the Travellers Rest.
