The town hosted a number of events with one of the largest at Otley Cricket Club, where Bramhope resident Sarah Smith had once again organised a feast of refreshments and cakes, along with a prize raffle, for the cause. The winning cake was made by Mrs Clare Pennington who crafted a cake in the shape of a cup of coffee complete with teaspoon and biscuits.
