Halloween event supporting Stout Ride




Saturday 31st October will see the final effort in support of this year’s 17th annual Great Milk (stout) Ride take place at Dacre and Hartwith Village Hall, in Dacre Banks.

Sandra Bradley and her team of helpers will be holding a Dining-for-Macmillan event between 11am and 3pm, where they will be selling hot food (including pumpkin soup), teas, cakes, etc., to passing motorists. A similar event at Fewston Village Hall, earlier this year realised over £750. All the proceeds will go to swell the coffers of the popular Dales charity bike ride in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Presentation Night

On Friday 6th November at Ye Olde Oak Inn, Low Laithe, Macmillan area fund raising manager, Roohi Lupton, will receive the cheque for this year’s Great Milk (stout) Ride. With a record 486 riders out on the day, including 48 teams, a spokesman for the ride was hopeful that this year would enable the committee to hand over yet another record cheque. He stressed the importance of riders ensuring that their sponsorship monies should be handed over by Monday 2nd November at the latest to the treasurer at Tranby Croft, Glasshouses, HG3 5QY cheques payable to GMsR. To enable us to collect a further 28p in the pound via Gift Aid, donors should indicate their wish and supply their address. Late payments will be accepted on the night in emergency.
