Rotary Club of Skipton Craven's logo
Rotary Club of Skipton Craven
At a meeting on 25.06.19 Skipton Craven Rotary Club elected Peter Ripley their President for the next 12 months. While receiving his chain of office from outgoing President John Exley, Peter said he was delighted to be given this honour and he would follow previous Presidents by upholding the aims of Rotary. He said he would do his utmost to ensure the Club continued to have Fun, Food and Fellowship while pursuing its goals of raising money for local charities. In recognising the aging of members he said the Club was determined to grow, particularly to cope with the ever increasing demands of the Club’s famous Christmas activities. As the numbers of competitors in the Santa Fun Run multiply and this year with a disability event more marshalls were needed as well as for the very popular Santa Sleigh Runs. Peter moved to Skipton from Haworth 26 years ago shortly after his business, ACWA, relocated from Bradford where Peter was born and educated. Working in the water industry all his life Peter got many opportunities to travel, but mostly in the arid Middle East.

The suit was lacking. I tore it putting it on. I do understand that it's cheep I just wasn't expecting that cheep. The support was great on the course the bands playing on the way round were amazing.The finish line was a mess trying to get through was hard it was a bit of a scrum.

Great run but if you want to run youll need to get to the very front of the start pens. The course has some narrow sections that are fine if youre having a jog but faster runners will want to make sure they start first. Overall it was a really fun race. Thanks to the marshalls and crew for making it so!

A fantastic event stepped up another level this year due to moving to the High Street and having all the stalks and activities going on. Definitely recommended to anyone after some fun be it taking part or just spectating and wanting to enjoy a festive day out. Brilliant!

Brilliant fun run! Good parking facilities. Dont expect a PB as it is narrow in places and 1750 runners including children - but do expect plenty of fun and giggles at the mass of Santas
