The same place 14 years on from Image Apart from a new coat of paint on the club house, the most obvious change is the bright red gateway installed in June 2021 in memory of Captain Sir Thomas Moore. Widely known as "Captain Tom" he became a national celebrity in his 100th year by raising millions of pounds for the health services during the worst of the covid epidemic. He was born in Keighley in April 1920.
