THE Thursday Club at the Winter Garden in Ilkley is to recommence in 2024 on Thursday, January 11 at 10am until 12.30pm.

Councillor Anne Hawkesworth (Ind, Ilkley) said: "After a great meeting before Christmas, with a superb performance by the Yukes, the Thursday Club took a break for a few weeks.

"The morning was truly festive with carols and mulled wine.

"Although the initial and primary reason for starting the club was to provide a warm space the club has been great for encouraging residents down the valley to come and meet,chat and make new friends. It is proving a wonderful resource for those feeling the effect of isolation since lockdown.

“The key is anyone is welcome and I hope we will continue to increase its attendance. All ages and even dog walkers."
