International Rally & Directions to the venue
Bookings for the International Rally on 6th to 9th July have now topped the 200 mark.
Direction signs will be erected in the area on Thursday night before the event, however, the Skipton RFUC is within a few hundred metres of the railway station. The road directly opposite the station takes you to the venue, hopefully we’ll see you there.
Roadholder Delayed

5th May Wolds Run
5th May Wolds Run – 8 bikes from the branch joined the 230 mile round trip to the Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirby in Lincolnshire. Fortunately only a few light showers were encountered on the run. The event was well attended, the Lancaster and DC3 Dakota entertained the large crowd. On the way back Barry decided to do a bit of off roading when he misjudged a corner and ended up in a field! Fortunately no damage to rider or machine resulted. Also see photo in our events gallery.
