It is that time again – this is a call for volunteers to help set up the arenas for the Show.
If you can help please turn up on the show field at 6.00pm on Tuesday 11 August armed with some scissors, gloves and a hi-vis jacket if you have one for a quick safety briefing before helping to rope off the various show areas for Saturday’s events.
Thanking you all in anticipation.
Good news, folks – the latest Rosedale Calendar in aid of Save Rosedale Abbey Church Fund is now available for sale in Abbey Stores at £10 per copy!
The calendar features scenes of life around Rosedale taken by several local photographers. It makes an ideal souvenir for visitors and also as a present to friends and family no longer living in the dale, not forgetting taking pride of place in your own kitchen!
So please consider buying one or more copies to support this important project and remember the price has stayed the same now for a number of years, not something you can say about much else in the modern day.
The next quarterly meeting of the Rosedale History Archive will take place in the Updale Reading Room/Village Hall on Sunday 7 June from 2.00 to 4.00pm. Entry is free but donations to maintain the work of the Archive would be welcomed.
There will not be a quiz in the Coach House Inn on Sunday 24 May because of the Bank Holiday, so the next of the ever popular brain teasers will be on Sunday 31 May starting at 8.30pm. The entry fee is £2 per head which includes entry to the cash prize open-the-box raffle at the end of the quiz. Also the winning team receives a £20 Coach House voucher for use in the bar and restaurant, so if you are not a regular come along with some mates and give it a go!
