We start this week down at The Hunslet Club where the Under 8s football team are celebrating winning the Garforth League Cup on Sunday. If you want to know more about the club’s background you should take a look at their video.
If you haven’t booked your Santa train at Middleton Railway yet you are too late. The last Santa trains of 2016 are fully booked. Meanwhile the Yorkshire Evening post reported on the arrival of a historic Hunslet-built loco returning from a Trinidadian sugar plantation.
It was a sell out too at Cottingley Community Centre on Saturday (17 December) for their Christmas party. You can catch up via the photos they have posted.
Speaking of Christmas parties The Bridge, which supports adults with learning disabilities at their base in Holbeck, held a Christmas Ball last Friday and clearly had a great time. Again, they’ve posted lots of photos.
