With the vision and financial support of founder members a property in Otley Street was bought and re-designed by member Mary Wales to include a ground floor clubroom and two first floor residential flats.\u00a0 The first meeting in our clubroom was held on 3<sup>rd<\/sup> October 1967 exactly 18 years after the first club meeting.\u00a0 Our clubroom continues to be not only our own meeting venue but has evolved into a community resource and is used on a regular basis by many local organisations and groups.<\/p>\n<p>Skipton members have been and are still very active within the organisation at both local and regional level and we can boast of the fact that members of our club have served as \u00a0President, Treasurer and Officers of the Yorkshire Region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous attempts at forming a Skipton club had been delayed by the second World
