THE Clarke Foley Centre in Cunliffe Road, Ilkley, officially opened its doors in January 1981 and has been serving the community over the last 40 years.

To celebrate this landmark and to raise funds for the centre a memories book is being compiled. The Centre has already had some stories of those who have been involved with Clarke Foley but would like more.

If you have had any connection with the centre in any way be it working, volunteering, attending a class or special event, or visiting the café the centre would like to hear from you. Were you there when it first opened? Have you a funny story to tell or did you make a lifelong friend you met there. Have you any photographs of the centre?

You can send your stories by post to Ann Whitehouse, The Clarke Foley Centre, Cunliffe Road, Ilkley, LS29 9DZ or by email: annwhitehouse.director@clarkefoley.org.uk
