…. and fantastic generosity, as the Rosedale annual charity auction took place last night in the Coach Inn, where around 90 intrepid locals and visitors braved torrential rain and gusty winds to attend the ever popular sale of donated goods to raise money for local charities.

The final total raised was £3,322, a magnificent effort all round and one of which the whole community can feel very proud.

As always, heartfelt thanks to Dave Oakey and the team at the Coach House and to Dave Seller and the volunteer helpers who set up and ran the auction so efficiently, and, of course, to all who donated auction items so generously.
