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.
One of Santa’s elves has whispered in my ear that himself will be visiting Rosedale Abbey on Wednesday 11 December around 4pm if he is not delayed delivering presents elsewhere!
Santa and his team from Ryedale Lions look forward to seeing you all by the school gates in Rosedale Abbey on Wednesday 11 December and in the meantime wishes you all a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
And a reminder that Carols on The Green, with delicious mulled scrumpy and mince pies will be on Monday 23 December at 6.30pm by Abbey Stores and will be in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
The coffee morning this Saturday is in support of the Rosedale Community Fund. Since the coffee mornings for the community fund began in 2016 it has over the years supported the following for Rosedale.
Please support the coffee morning. Who knows what will be next in the community.
Also the Domino Drives begin again on the third Thursday of each month for Reading Room funds. First one Thursday 17th October 7.30
Frank and Barbara ran the Coach House Inn in the early 2000s. Barbara died recently and her family would like it known that her funeral will be at York Crematorium on 9 October at 2pm. Any one who remembers them would be most welcome to attend.
