The annual charity football match between Rosedale FC and the NYM Gamekeepers team took place on Sunday 9 June on Rosedale’s infamous sloping pitch.
The final score was believed to be around 8 – 2 in Rosedale’s favour, but it was a hard contested match and, more importantly, a friendly end of season run-out for both teams.
A big thank you to all who supported and took part in the Rosedale Wedding Dress Festival. We raised £3,851 (and moved the Angel up a notch). That takes our total fund-raising to a grand £26,487. Our target is £90,000.
We can now show we mean business in grant applications to save Rosedale Church from closure.
Congratulations to the five raffle winners! And thank you to the local businesses who provided the prizes and supported the event.
Any ideas for the next fundraising event will be warmly welcomed. Until then, thank you again – your donations and positive feedback have been very much appreciated.
Best wishes
Linda Blackburne

The preview evening for the Wedding Dress Festival in aid of the appeal for St Mary and St Lawrence Church in Rosedale Abbey was very well attended and over £655 was raised for the appeal fund.
The festival, with its wonderful display of over thirty wedding dresses, stories, memorabilia and sales of local arts and crafts runs through to Sunday 2 June when there will be a Renewal of Wedding Vows Service in the Church at 10.30. Entry is free from 10.00am each day – donations to the appeal are, of course, very welcome!
Lyndsey says that if you feel too shy you don’t have to do the class at Rosedale Reading Room, but why not pop in for a coffee, buy some raffle tickets and watch the fun while supporting this great cause.
It was good to see a group of riders enjoying a hearty breakfast in the Abbey Stores tea room after a long but enjoyable ride around the dale this morning, 7 April 2019.
The coffee morning held in the Coach House Inn, Rosedale Abbey, on Saturday 6 April raised the excellent sum of £310 for the Unicorn Centre/Riding for The Disabled:
The usual thanks go to all who contributed raffle prizes, to Margaret, Carol and Janet for organising the raffle and to Dave and Ali at the Coach House for the ever generous hosting of these popular local events.
The next Coffee Morning will be on Saturday 4 May from 10.00 to 12.00am in support of Marie Curie Cancer Carers – please come along to enjoy the company and support a very good cause.
