ROSEDALE SHOW 2024 – SETTING UP

Show time approaches rapidly and so the organizing committee has put out the annual plea for volunteers to come to the Milburn Field on Tuesday evening, 13 August, at 6.00pm to help set up the arenas – if you can please come along, armed with a pair of gardening gloves and a pair of scissors, and a friend or two!

The Show is organised and run entirely by volunteers, so your help with setting up the showground is very important and would be much appreciated – see you there on Tuesday 13 August ay 6.00pm.

BROWNIE’S 80th BIRTHDAY!

Posted on . No Comments

Coincidently, around 80 people from the village and dale gathered in the Coach House In on Friday 19 January 2024 to celebrate Ian ‘Brownie’ Brown’s 80th birthday. It was a well kept surprise and Brownie took a few minutes to recover after his arrival!

CHRISTMAS AUCTION – 25 NOVEMBER 2023

Posted on . No Comments

As has become a tradition in Rosedale, the auction in aid of the Rosedale Reading Room/Village Hall was a noisy, crowded and joyful occasion which raised around £3,500 thanks to the outstanding generosity of the donors of auction lots and the uninhibited, highly competitive bidding of those in the audience!

Some of the auction lots on display – the bike went for £300!
Getting ready for the fun and excitement.
The First Lot – a jar of pickled onions, yours for £10
A pair of giraffes, anyone?
A cuddly Dave Seller, with toy!

As always huge thanks to Dave Oakey and the team at the Coach House for coping with the onslaught, and to Sue Foster and the auction helpers for an outstanding evening – a great start to Christmas.
