ROSEDALE CHRISTMAS AUCTION 2024

Posted on . by ourosedale No Comments

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.

ROSEDALE SHOW ’24

Posted on . by ourosedale No Comments

The Rosedale Agricultural, Horticultural and Industrial Show was held on the Milburn Field in Rosedale Abbey on Saturday 17 August. The show was blessed with excellent weather and dry ground this year which made for a grand day out for the large number of visitors ( currently thought to be around 4000) who enjoyed the many attractions on offer in the new show rings layout and exhibition areas, along with a wide variety of trades stands. A short selection of photos are below to give a flavour of the day:

The show field filling up rapidly in mid-morning

Reminiscence! The vintage tractor display
Dog Show judging in action
The Railroad Hobos C&W band in full flow
Whoa! Stopping a one ton heavy horse in front of the judge.

Pimped-up Pony – The fancy dress class.

As always, the show would never happen without the stirling efforts of the all-volunteer committee and the many other helpers giving up their time to run the entrance gates, control the traffic and parking and act as stewards at all the classes and events within the very full show programme.

Planning for the 2025 show is already under way to build on the resounding success of the 2024 show and should anyone wish to help out next year please keep an eye out on social media and on www.rosedaleshow.com, or contact the Secretary on rosedaleshowsecretary@gmail.com

See you all in ’25!
