    The Stray Ferret Business Club’s next meeting is a breakfast event on Thursday, 27 July at Banyan in Harrogate between 8-10am. 

    The Business Club provides monthly opportunities to network, make new connections and hear local success stories. Get your tickets by clicking or tapping here.



    A Harrogate club has won a Campaign for Real Ale award.

    The Oatlands club, on Coronation Grove, was voted the best club in CAMRA’s Harrogate & Ripon area for 2023.

    Alan Gould, chair of the Harrogate and Ripon CAMRA, presented the award to Kate Shutt, bar manager of the club, earlier this month.

    Mr Gould said:

    “Clubs provide an extremely useful community function, more so perhaps than pubs these days, so CAMRA is very keen to recognise and celebrate this, one way of doing this is to make an award to the best club in our area.”


    Simon Williams, club president, thanked CAMRA for the award and paid tribute to the hard work of Kate Shutt and her team behind the bar.

    The expedition was part of the care provider’s charity of the year fundraising events.

    Ms Harrison said:

    “Succeeding in reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro and raising £2,320 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance has been an incredible accomplishment and a once-in-a-lifetime ambition of mine.”


    Tessa Klemz, North Yorkshire regional fundraiser for Yorkshire Air Ambulance, added:

    ”On behalf of Yorkshire Air Ambulance, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Samantha for her tremendous efforts in conquering Kilimanjaro in support of our charity.”
