OTLEY Rugby Union Club, who celebrate their 150th anniversary this year, have brought out a tankard and wine glass to mark the occasion.

The club's ladies' committee are behind the idea, with the tankard costing £25 and the wine glass £17, or both can be bought for £40.

To place an order, or for further information, contact Sue Henry on 07946-436590.

The centrepiece of the club's anniversary is a dinner dance tonight at the Queens Hotel in Leeds (7.30).

Former England internationals Peter Winterbottom and Nigel Melville, who have major Otley links, plus England coach Stuart Lancaster and former British & Irish Lions coach Sir Ian McGeechan OBE, who both have strong Leeds connections, will be speaking.

Otley-born Winterbottom, won 58 England caps and twice toured with the British Lions.

Winterbottom, who went on to represent Headingley, Harlequins, Hawkes Bay (New Zealand) and Transvaal (South Africa), has made a career in finance since retiring.

The dinner dance will be hosted by Otley RUFC club member Nigel Barden, of BBC Radio Two fame.
