Wetherby Flower Club

The club was formed in 1968 and meets on the first Thursday of the month in The Methodist Church Hall, Bank Street, Wetherby.

We have a good mix of demonstrations, practice nights and workshops are arranged and we have occasional outings, usually to gardens. We also have an annual lunch in January.

We have a Sales Table at each of our meetings where we sell the basic requirements for flower arranging at reasonable cost.

For our Demonstrations we enjoy flowers being arranged at their best by demonstrators known locally and nationally, with a raffle for the arrangements at the end of the evening.

Our aim is to promote the art of flower arranging as a hobby which will give a great deal of enjoyment and promote friendship through flowers.

Collingham Grange Badminton Club

We are a small, friendly club based at Gateways School in Harewood near Leeds. We compete in the Leeds and Castleford leagues.

In addition to playing competitive badminton, we actively encourage our members to participate in club nights and other social (BBQ and Bake-off) events.

Club night is Wednesday during both Winter and Summer months. Courts are available from 20:00 to 22:00. We play with feather shuttles on all occasions.

New players are welcome to come down to a club night session and try us out but it is advisable to check the blog section or use the contact form to request the latest information on club night and court availability.

Wetherby Choral Society

We were founded in 1974 and now have well over 100 members. Our weekly rehearsals are friendly and informal.
We are a registered charity (Charity No. 510264) whose aim, according to our constitution, is to ‘prepare music for performance and . . . to educate . . . through the presentation of a series of concerts throughout the season’. Put less formally: we all have a common love of choral singing and our objective is simple – to sing and learn together and to make good music!

We are a community choir and strive for high standards of performance. No audition is required to become a member, but the ability to sight-read is useful..

Wetherby and District Camera Club

Photography is both challenging and enjoyable, but yet to some it’s just a mystery.

As a Club, we would like to make our hobby more accessible. It’s our aim to develop our member’s skills whether by lectures, competitions or the exchange of ideas and techniques.

Trying to share our knowledge of equipment, processes and benefiting from our collective experience is all part of gaining knowledge and skills to take better photographs.

If you think this approach would match your ambitions, please contact us to discuss joining us at one of our clubnights (Tuesdays – September through to Easter), we meet at 7.30p.m. in the St. James Church meeting rooms on Church Street, Wetherby. 

Wetherby Bowling Club

Wetherby Bowling Club is unique on the Yorkshire side of the Pennines with both a lawn (flat) green and a crown green side-by-side.  Not sure of the difference?  Lawn bowls – played in lanes or rinks as demonstrated at the Commonwealth Games; whereas crown green is played over the whole green – and is exclusive to the north of England, the north Midlands, and north Wales.  Our crown green is equipped with floodlights so that evening matches can be played into the autumn – and the club hosts an annual Autumn Mini-League which attracts players from across the district. 

Wetherby Bowling Club offers social bowling for people who just want a relaxing game, but also participates in various local leagues within Yorkshire – you decide the level at which you want to play.  Our greens are normally open from the beginning of April until the end of October, while our subscription for the 2023 season is just £40.

Wetherby Bowling Club can be found at Grange Park, Wetherby, LS22 5NB, on the border between North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.  It is signposted off A168 just south of Wetherby, with easy access from Harrogate, Leeds or York (and from further afield via A1M J45).

If you are thinking about visiting or joining our club, or have any bowls-related questions, please contact our club secretaryPeter Speight.  Peter may be contacted by phone on 0113 808 0473 or 07887 544953, or via our club e-mail address: wetherbybowls@gmail.com
