The quarterly meeting of the Rosedale History Archive will be held in the Updale Reading Room/Village Hall on Sunday 7 September from 2.00 to 4.00pm. There will be the usual extensive range of historical and archive material available long with excellent tea and cakes, so come along if you want to research family background or the social and industrial history of the dale. Entrance is free but donations in aid of the running of the archive would be welcomed.
The coffee morning in the Coach House Inn on Saturday 6 September from 10.00 to 12.00am will be in aid of the Rosedale Church Appeal.

After a slight delay, the much anticipated re-opening of the Graze on The Green Tearoom has happened today in Rosedale Abbey, with Sam and Andrea in charge:
The tearoom will open from Wednesday to Sunday, between 9.30am and 4.00pm, for teas, coffees, cakes and sandwiches to eat in and take out, as well as breakfast and lunch menus. For bookings and enquiries contact grazeonthegreen1@gmail.com .
So, a hearty Rosedale welcome and best wishes to the new team in GoG!
For all of us suffering from gourmet gateaux deprivation since Darren and James closed down their business after ten hard working but profitable years in Rosedale, the very good news is that Sam and Andrea Miller are intending to re-open the bakery and tea room on Saturday 16 August, Show Day as it happens!
Sam, who hails from York, intends to open initially for teas, coffees and cakes before developing the business to reflect his widespread experience in hospitality which has included working in high end restaurants in Denmark, France, and Spain. So we welcome Sam, Andrea and their two children to Rosedale and wish them all the very best of luck for their new adventure here.
