Settle Saunter 2016

This year's Saunter was held on Saturday 11 June 2016, starting at 8.30am from the Victoria Hall, Kirkgate, Settle. Runners and walkers with varying abilities joined us on the day. 

Profits made from entry fees this year will be donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Settle Swimming Pool and Clapham Cave Rescue Organisation.

There were four routes to choose from. We retained the 9, 12 and 16 mile routes which have been in operation for a number of years, but the former 27 mile route over Ingleborough was replaced, this year, by a new 22 mile route via Victoria Cave and Attermire Scar.

Results and timings are now available here:  Results 2016

Yorkshire Tour Weekend - our Pop-up bookshop!

Over the Tour de Yorkshire Weekend, from Friday 29th April to Monday 2nd May, our celebrated Settle Rotary Bookstall moved inside for our first Pop-up shop venture!!

Maybe you came to see us in the former shoe shop in Duke Street, opposite the Skipton Building Society - with the Rotary bike over the shop window. The venture was a success and helped us to raise funds for our many local "Good Causes" as well as raising the profile of Settle Rotary.

The regular bookstalls continue on fine weather Saturdays throughout the summer on our usual site outside the Nat-West Bank.

Merry-go-Round 2017

The 2017 Merry-go-Round will be on Friday 24th February -put the date in your diary!

The 2016 Merry-go-Round was held on Friday 19th February. The format, as usual was a three course meal, with each course served at a different hostelry/restaurant in the Settle area. There were several new venues this year and 239 guests in 50 groups  toured round on this most enjoyable and select "pub crawl".

Charities benefitting this year will be Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Clapham Cave Rescue Organisation and Settle Swimming Pool. First indications are that the evening raised between £1500 and £2000 to divide between them.

This highly popular event has become a firm favourite in our calendar and tickets sell very quickly. The evening offers all the attractions of good locations, good company and fine wining and dining. If you missed out this year, or if you were one of the lucky ones and want to be sure of your place next year, look out for our publicity when tickets go on sale next January.

Santa Claus collection 2015

Yes, Santa Claus was back in town . . . and village and he and his elves received very nearly £5000! in donations for local community groups and charities.
