2024 Marks Final Centenary Celebration Of Historic Hill Climb

The 10th August this year marks the 5th and final celebration event to mark one of the 1920’s most significant hill climb events. From 1920 to 1924 Holme Moss in the West Riding of Yorkshire was the focus of the great names in motorsport. A public road hill climb, snaking its way up the Pennine Hills, it attracted names such as Malcolm Campbel, Sir Henry Seagrave, Eddie Hall, Archie Frazer-Nash and Raymond Mays, whose winning 1924 climb remains the Hill Record in perpetuity.

The original climbs were organised by the long defunct Huddersfield and Bradford Joint Motor Club, but the Centenary events have been pulled together by a small but dedicated band of enthusiasts who simply wanted the event to be commemorated and marked. Using the village pub, The Fleece as the gathering point, these events have raised money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and this year will be no exception.

Lead Organiser, Guy Loveridge says:
“This year, bring the last of the Centenary Events, will be bigger and better than ever! We will have live music from The Bluebirds close harmony trio and a longer event, running from 10am until 4pm. Road legal cars get to run up and down the hill.

"We have a souvenir programme, event T-Shirts and a raffle to win five wonderful prizes, including a signed Nick Mason Pink Floyd album, a first edition copy of Innes Ireland’s All Arms and Elbows – Ireland Motorsport will be with us, led by Innes’ daughter Christiane, and other items. It’s a great day – come and join us!"

Sponsored in 2024 by PnP Events www.pnpevents.co.uk, which has a unique portfolio of events across the country, all funds raised after costs will go straight to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

The Fleece will be open all day and there is a dedicated paddock, fully signed, for cars. Nothing is needed, no pre-registration or signing on, and we only ask for a donation of £10 in return for which you get the programme and a chance to climb the hill and have it commemorated on the day.
