Otley AC Awards Night
2025 Awards
It’s awards season again. The Golden Globes have been and gone, the Nobel Prizes handed out and the Grammys are on their way. However, we residents of the Mid Wharfe Valley are all waiting for the big one…
The Otley AC 2025 Awards Night.
Where? The Treehouse, in the Canopy room (upstairs and at the back. Keep going past the toilets, but if you get to the second set of stairs you’ve gone too far).
When? 7pm, 14th February.
How Much? £10 per person, sent to the club’s usual bank account. Partners and plus 1’s are welcome.
Will there be food? Yes.
Will I like the food? Probably. But you know the rules for a buffet, prepare with a good lunch.
Will there be veggie/vegan/other foods? Yes, though get in touch with anything more specific than that which the caterers might need to know.
Other slightly longer winded questions that you don’t need to read…
That’s a stupid date, why then? Tell me about it. It needed to be a Friday in February that ideally didn’t clash with a race on the Saturday.
I’d like to come but it’s Valentine’s day and I’ve promised my significant other a big night out? The card almost writes itself really. Make a quick joke about how they’ve been running through your mind, then nonchalantly suggest a potentially fantastic buffet down in town (throw in the joke about the broken clock and how it keeps going back to the buffet 4 seconds) and hey presto you’ve combined the two.
(not advisable for first dates, though would make for a solid second onwards).
What shall I wear? Whatever you like. There’s no Gok Wans here.
I’ve never been to this type of thing, why should I? Gather in for a little secret now… I’ve only been to one of these myself (yes, I know. I’m vastly under qualified for the role). You probably won’t win an award and worse still, I don’t think there’s going to be a raffle this year either. However, celebrating the achievements of your fellow OAC members (we have some really interesting stories and feats amongst our ranks), seeing your run friends wearing fewer man made fibres than usual and trying to have a laugh amongst like minded people might be at least a 6 out of 10 night out. Give it a whirl safe in the knowledge that if it’s rubbish there’s two flights of stairs to choose from as you sneak out.
Will I be on my own? No way, Jose. Get in touch if you’re concerned about this before, after or during and we’ll do something.
Will I get to see a picture of my friend Harry taken moments after he fell armpit deep in a cess pit on The Chevin projected onto a six foot screen? There’s only one way to find out.
