ROSEDALE CHRISTMAS AUCTION 2024

Posted on . No Comments

The ever popular Christmas Auction in aid of the Reading Room fund was held in a packed out Coach House Inn last Saturday 30 November, with Dave Seller and the team working their way through an amazingly varied selection of lots ranging from an outdoor garden stove, via an electric bicycle to the traditional jars of pickled onions!

The full results of the auction are not yet known but the early count shows that over £3400 was raised, a truly magnificent effort and a great tribute to the generosity of all those who donated so many items for the event, to the auction team who worked through some technical issues to sell off all the lots and to Dave Oakey and his crew in the Coach House for hosting the event. An update will be issued when the final amount is known.

In the meantime, a reminder that Father Christmas and his Ryedale Lions elves will be visiting the village on Wednesday 11 December at around 4pm and Carols on The Green will be held by Abbey Stores on Monday 23 December at 6.30pm.
