Ilkley Olicana 41 Club

Ilkley Olicana 41 Club is the new name for an active 41 Club that has been in existence since 1964.

It is a club that has just one requirement for membership and that is that you must have been a member of a Round Table at any time in your life anywhere in the world.

The Ilkley Club meets one evening per month throughout the year and its purpose is entirely social. However, many members are actively involved with town events which enrich the community.

Club meetings are generally held at The Craiglands Hotel, Ilkley, where the normal format is a pleasant meal, followed by an interesting and topical speaker. In the summer months, there are organized events with wives or partners, followed by dinner at a country pub. Christmas provides a good opportunity for a party, which this year is held at Ilkley Golf Club.
