We’re a small model railway group and we always welcome new club members. We model local railways, amongst others. For example, our Knaresborough Viaduct layout has won several awards.
Come along and see our Annual Exhibition!

Lunching Ladies
We are a group of ladies who meet for lunch on the first Monday in the month at Oakdale Golf Club in Harrogate. It is a simple and pleasant social occasion where we meet, chat over lunch and possibly make new friends. The cost is £21 which includes two courses plus tea/coffee and mints. If you are interested in trying us out one Monday please contact me Brenda Marlow.
Some members of the Painting for Pleasure group are also members of The Harrogate and Nidderdale Art Club.
The club meets on Thursday evenings between 7 and 9 p.m. from the first Thursday in September running through to the last Thursday in June. We have a structured programme of activities throughout the year including: demonstrations, life models, still life, workshops, talks and slide shows. New members of all abilities are welcome with no prerequisites just a love of painting. It's a great way to further your interest in art and also to make new friends.
This is a convivial group who meet each Thursday morning in the winter months for interesting talks. Their programme runs from October to the end of April.
