Show time is rapidly approaching and the organising committee asks if anyone can help set the show:

b. Saturday 19 August – in the Industrial Tent at 4.30pm to help take down the exhibits tables and screens.
c. Sunday 20 August at 9.00am – on the Show Field to help take down the arenas etc.
The Show is back after an enforced break of three years so please come along to help out and make it a great success in 2023.
The wonderful Esk Valley Theatre is back with a new production, a very entertaining mystery set in the North York Moors written and directed by Mark Stratton. It runs at the Glaisdale village hall until 26 August. Details of ticket prices and performance dates and times can be found by ringing the number shown or on the website:
The small cast of four are all professional actors with extensive credits in local and national theatre, television, radio and film. The plot looks at how individuals’ characters can change within new environments and is in turn thoughtful, mysterious, exciting and with a leavening of local humour.
On a day of dramatic weather, varying from sunshine to thunderous rain, Vikki Seller of Rosedale Abbey and Ross White of York celebrated their wedding with 120 family and friends in St Mary and St Lawrence Church, Rosedale Abbey. The Rev Christine Haddon-Reece officiated with Richard Haynes playing the organ.
The very best wishes for good fortune and happiness in the future to Vikki and Ross from all in the dale.
