ILKLEY S Tom Adams added to his winning tally as he made the perfect start to the new Golden Trail National Series UK by landing the opening event in the South Downs National Park on Saturday. He clocked an astonishing time of three hours, 15 minutes and 58 seconds for the 50km route across hills, heath and woodland in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. Starting from Haslemere, he crossed the line in Petersfield just over three minutes ahead of Keswick AC s Brennan Townshend. Next up in the series is the Scafell Pike Marathon in August. Adams trip to the South Downs meant he was absent from the Blencathra Fell Race the same day, a brutal 13km route featuring 825m of ascent, which acted as the English Championships this year.
GHYLL Royd School and Pre-School in Burley-in-Wharfedale has unveiled its brand-new retractable theatre seating. The Theatre of Dreams has been a long sought-after addition to the school’s multipurpose hall which is currently used for performances, sports fixtures and large events. The hall is also home to local sports clubs including Olicana Gymnastics and Ilkley Harriers, who will now benefit from additional seating for spectators. Fundraising for the seats began in 2017, launched by Channel 4’s Brendan Sheerin, host of Coach Trip and a regular pantomime star. Children asked him questions about his life travelling the world and what it is like to work in television and on stage. When asked about the importance of getting a good seat, the famous tour guide said: “I always appreciate a good seat as it enhances people’s enjoyment of any performance.”
