Xmas Ride-Out lunch & Awards Presentation, 29th November 2026

Article image

Tickets are now on sale for the club’s Xmas Ride-Out Lunch and Annual Awards Celebration to be held at The Old Otliensians Rugby Club (on Pool Road next to Otley Garden Centre) on the afternoon of Sunday, 29th November.

The event will again be informal and linked to Sunday morning rides with riders (possibly in fancy dress - riders to decide) and guests converging on the excellent rugby club bar from 12.30pm with dinner served from 13.15pm. There’s plenty of parking.

Lunch will be a relatively inexpensive fayre; a traditional pie dinner served with mash, peas and gravy followed by a salted caramel brownie dessert provided from the award winning, Pool based, 'The Pie Collective' van. The feedback from last year was tremendous so we’re in for a treat. Look up Chris and The Pie Collective team on Facebook here

You can book tickets through Ticket Tailor here for £17 per head or £9 each for same offer for guests aged under 21 (including children).

We hope to make this another big success, which will bring us all together at a great venue, with great food and good company. Everyone is welcome, husbands, wives, partners, friends and families, cyclists and drivers. Let’s make it an afternoon to remember.
