West Yorkshire CTC is part of Cycling UK, the cyclists' champion, covering Leeds, Bradford and Calderdale. It aims to encourage and assist local CTC and Cycling UK member groups in this area and organises cycling events which attract cyclists of all abilities.

WYOG is a community group which promotes organic gardening. Annually, we hold a Potato Day and a Fruit, Flower, Veg and Produce Show where entries are judged on taste rather than appearance.

As a county we help over 8000 young people and are supported by over 1000 adults. Over recent years our membership has continued to see increased growth year on year. We have 14 districts and our county extends from Ilkey in the north to Huddersfield in the south and Halifax in West to Dewsbury in the East. We have a diverse range of areas including inner city Bradford to the countryside in the Aire Valley.

To support the programme we have over 10 activity centres and campsites dotted all over the county and some a bit further afield.

Our adults are supported through our adult training, and our young leaders through a dedicated young leader programme.

A Friendly Club which loves Fell Running.

Wharfedale Harriers came into being in 1998 and was initially formed to bring together people with an interest in off road running, mainly Fell Running. Since then, however, the club has expanded to include the delights of Cross Country and the dizzy speeds of Road Running. We are a friendly club and welcome applications for membership from all ages and abilities. We also have a thriving junior section. Our modest fees are set at a level where we look to merely cover our expenses. On Wednesdays, we have a pub/social run, where members can run together and then have a chat before returning home. For details of membership and training, please see the separate pages. If you think that you would like to join us, why not come along to one of our pub runs and see what you think. The details of the next one are usually on the web site. Details of fees and a membership application form are also on the website.
