Regrettably, the Tea and Chat meeting of the History Society planned for this Sunday has been postponed because of the bad weather (snow, frost and fog). However, the meeting will now go ahead on Sunday 10 December in the Updale Reading Room/Village Hall from 2.00 to 4.00pm.

Please pass on this news to anyone you know who might have intended to come this Sunday.

COACH HOUSE INN COFFEE MORNING.  The next coffee morning, at The Coach House on Saturday 2nd December, 10.00-12.00, is in aid of the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) with raffle and cakes.  Held in memory of two much missed Rosedale residents, Linda and Ann, who have died of this incurable condition in the past 12 months. 

ROSEDALE HISTORY MEETING Our March meeting takes place on Sunday, 3^rd December between 2.00 – 4.00pm at the usual venue of the Updale Reading Room/ Village Hall  Internet access is available and tea and cake will be on offer, as usual.

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!

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.

Santa Claus has promised to visit Rosedale again this year, on Wednesday 13 December provided the reindeer can lug all those presents around in the sleigh on time!

Come and see him outside the Community School gates at around 4.15pm that day and support the important charity work of the Ryedale Lions

Merry Christmas!

The Remembrance Sunday Service will take place by the War Memorial Cross in Rosedale Abbey churchyard on Sunday 122 November starting at 10.50am.
