Diary Dates! Sun 7th Sept Great Milk (stout) Ride
2008 After last year's Presentation Night handover to Macmillan
of £42,500 at Ye Olde Oak Inn, Low Laithe, we are looking
forward to the launch of this year's campaign, scheduled to
start on 1st June 2008. Watch out for Press and Media releases
to keep you informed of the 16th annual staging of this popular
northern event, which will take place on Sunday 7th September
2008 on the Nidderdale Agricultural Showground, Pateley
Bridge, North Yorkshire. Registration starts at 8.30am and
the first riders in Half Litre should be away by 10.00am.
This is an all-day family fun day, with plenty to entertain,
including live groups, bar tent, barbeque, raffle, tombola,
trade stands, ice cream, bouncy castle, face painting and
much much more. Whether you are riding or not, come along
and be entertained and as we say HAVE FUN SUPPORTING MACMILLAN.
Fri 14th Nov Presentation Night 2008 This year's Presentation Night, when we hand over
the final cheque to Macmillan will again take place at Ye
Olde Oak Inn, Low Laithe, near Pateley Bridge on Friday 14th
November, starting around 8.00pm.
This annual event is hosted by landlord Lou Lumley and is
an established part of the Nidderdale calendar. Last year
we presented Macmillan's Shelagh Hopkinson with a cheque for
£42,500, bringing the total handed to Macmillan, since
1993 to over £330,220. We are hoping to beat that record
this year. This is the night when the highest fundraisers
are presented with their trophies, including the Pub Team,
Highest Individual, Non-Pub Team, Fancy Dress and Young Achiever
trophies.
