Saturday 4th August 2012

This afternoon we joined President Bill Hyde and many members of the RC Leeds along with Partners and other family members at the Grassington Bowling Club for an afternoon of ‘Fun’ Crown Green Bowling. Part way through we broke for an Afternoon Tea of Cake, Scones with Jam and Cream thanks to many of the Ladies who supplied the very enjoyable Cakes etc..

After playing 3 or 4 games and the ‘Awards’ Presentations we departed and made our way to Skipton Golf Club for a very enjoyable evening meal with many more members and partners joining us. The evening was topped off by watching Jessica Ennis complete her Heptathlon Gold Medal with a magnificent performance in the final 800 meters heat on the Golf Clubs TV.

Many thanks to President Bill and all the members and families who made it such an enjoyable event along with raising over £500 for President Bill’s Charities for the year.

RYLA 2012 Week 2 End of Course Evening Hebden Hay. After the usual admin of signing certificates set on with Youth Opportunities District Chairman Trevor Woodward to cook the burgers and sausages on the BBQ. Stayed fine whilst we cooked but then unfortunately the heavens opened and we had to take the food inside and take cover.

Following the awards presentations we moved to an amazing show of many of the Rylarians talents both solo and group, well done to you all.

Another big thank you to ALL who helped make this year’s RYLA events such a magnificent success.

Early start this morning for yet another trip down to RIBI in Alcester for an LDTC Meeting. Very good meeting with plenty to report back to General Council on RIBI Assembly planning and other programmes.

Hard drive back home to Yorkshire on Yorkshire Day for a very good visit to RC Bradford Blaze this evening. Good evening of fellowship and fun with some interesting if challenging questions. Thanks to President Gerald and all the members for a very good evening.
