Open Gardens BBQ

Thankyou to everyone who joined us on Saturday 20th July for our BBQ to celebrate Cold Ashby Open Gardens. It was a lovely evening, and a good time was had by all. Huge thanks go to Andy Sellers who cooked the BBQ and to Mandy Carson and Gemma Sellers who prepared the salads.

Cold Ashby Village Show

Cold Ashby Village Show has been a tradition in the village for many, many years and we are pleased to uphold this important date in the Cold Ashby calendar. There were some fantastic entries, and our judges, Mick Lill, Anne Maynard, Julie Webb and Ann Brumby had some difficult decisions choosing the winners. Congratulations to all who took part and especially our winners. Our supreme champion this year was Andrew Bott who made a clean sweep winning the Best in Show Produce Cup, The Dave Penney Man Cake Cup and The Best Cake in Show. Thank you to our judges, to all who entered, and everyone who made donations or donated items to sell in aid of hall funds.

Cold Ashby Skittles Team News

We had a great summer season with 2 skittles teams playing in the league for the first time in a number of years. We are very grateful to both teams for continuing to support The Memorial Hall and ensuring that the tradition of skittles continues in the village. The teams are very grateful to Mandy Carson for preparing and making the skittles refreshments every week. We look forward to a busy Winter Season which starts in Mid-October, when we will be playing on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Open Gardens

Thank you to everyone who attended our Open Gardens on Sunday 21st July. The weather was perfect, and the 250 visitors had a lovely afternoon wandering round looking at some beautiful gardens, supporting various stalls and enjoying a glass of Pimms or having tea and cake at The Memorial Hall. A huge amount of work goes into this event and PCC are very grateful and thank everyone who gave up their time and effort or made donations to make it another success raising a grand total of £3,255 in aid of St Denys Church.
