NEWS FROM THE MEMORIAL HALL

Social evenings, Sunday Café and Afternoon Tea

We have had a busy couple of months at the Memorial Hall and we’d like to thank everyone for their support at our regular social evenings and Sunday Café. It has been great to see everyone enjoying themselves and both have such a community feel about them and it’s lovely to have so many visitors from outside the village join us too. Your support is very much appreciated. Our first Afternoon Tea, back in March, was a lovely occasion and we are grateful to those who joined us and gave such glowing feedback. A huge thank you to Mandy Carson and Gemma Sellers for preparing the tea, it was very much enjoyed by all. Thanks also to Fiona Gunn-Stokes, Carole Oliver and Julie Webb for their help at all the events.

Quiz night

A super night was had by all who joined us for our Quiz night back in April. It was a brilliant quiz, and the scores were very close but eventually “We missed the plug!” team were crowned champions. Huge thanks go to Pete Walton who designed and delivered the Quiz. Special thanks as well go to Gemma Sellers and Mandy Carson for cooking and serving the food. Thanks to everyone who joined us.

Skittles presentations

Cold Ashby Skittles team was delighted to be chosen to host the finals and presentation nights for both the Welford and District and the Pytchley League skittles. It was fantastic to have so many people join us, and two very good evenings were enjoyed by all that attended. The team enjoyed playing in both leagues and look forward to the Summer season ahead, where we will have two village teams playing out of The Memorial Hall. Thank you to Rod Bailey for his help in manning the bar.

FAREWELL TO GLENIS AND RITA

This Spring we said farewell to two of our long-standing village residents, Glenis Hesk and Rita Lomas. They both had a career in education as school teachers and taught many Northamptonshire students throughout their long careers - all of whom are very grateful for the skills and knowledge that they imparted to them. Rita was also church warden and a member of St Denys PCC for many years and was a regular church attender.

NEWS FROM ST DENYS

Palm Sunday

It was a joy to see so many joining us for our Palm Sunday Service at St Denys Church, complete with a visit from Zebedee the donkey. Thank you to all that attended.

Open Gardens

Our Open Gardens in aid of St Denys Church is Sunday 20th July. More details below

June and July Events

Everyone is welcome to join us and residents’ support will ensure that we are able to keep these important village facilities open and provide opportunities for entertainment, social interaction and keep the village pool and skittle teams going.

Pool nights some Mondays from 7.30pm at the Cold Ashby Playing Field Pavilion. Bar open.

Both of them were very active in their support for village events and village life and will be very much missed by our community.
