The traditional Rosedale winter charity auction was held at the White Horse Farm Inn on Saturday evening, 15 November 2104. A very good crowd attended and the selling of a huge variety of local produce and other items was conducted briskly and with customary efficiency by the Seller family, aided and abetted by members of the Updale Reading Committee.
The sale generated £900 of which half goes to the Updale Reading Room and the other £450 will be shared by two medical charities, Cancer Research and fundraising for a mobile heart monitor. An excellent result and thanks to all who donated so generously and to Christine for hosting the event again.
A letter was received this morning from the Yorkshire Air Ambulance regarding the carols around the tree event on 21 December:
“Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity we would like to thank you for your generous donation of £76 given by carol singing around the tree in Rosedale Abbey.
It is the goodwill, sponsorship and charitable donations that keep this vital service flying and therefore we are extremely grateful for your support – without the generosity of people such as your selves we would be unable to continue this valuable work.
Once again our warmest thanks and appreciation to you.
Your sincerely,
Tracey Bull
Administrator
Yorkshire Air Ambulance”
Well done again to everyone who attended and remember to bring all your friends and family to make next year’s event even bigger and better.
A good crowd of around forty people and at least eight dogs from Rosedale and Hartoft gathered around the village Christmas Tree on Saturday evening, 21 December, to enjoy mulled cider and mince pies and sing carols lustily until the rain cut short the festivities!
A very generous crowd donated £76 to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Thanks to Diane Crawford for arranging the excellent musical accompaniment and to Linda Chambers for the mulled cider and mince pies. Let’s make it an even bigger event next year. Meantime, a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to all our readers in Rosedale, Hartoft and beyond!
