Village Calendar - Roll up, roll up, come and get your 2027 village
calendar, featuring village life in days
gone by and modern times!
Copies available at the
November coffee morning for just £8 (cash please).
They make a perfect gift for family, friends and former
residents. Don’t hold
back as supplies are limited
and they sell out quickly every year.
Community Bulb Planting - Bring your trowel and gardening gloves and
help us plant dozens of spring
bulbs to brighten up the village. We are meeting
outside the village hall on Friday, 16th October at 10am.
With many thanks to
Robert Wood for his kind donation of the daffodil bulbs which will be planted
on the
bank opposite the village hall patio and by the bench at the crossroads.
Too Good to Go - Save good food from going to waste with the free to use
‘Too Good to Go’ app. Find out
how you can easily see which cafes, restaurants, bakeries
and/or stores in our local area have perfectly
good food left over for you to
save and enjoy at half price or less, as recommended by one of our
members.
Seasonal Quiz - Ho, ho, ho! Ready to check your trivia? Join the Festive
Quiz Night on Wednesday, 9th
December in the Green Room at 7.30pm. Everyone is
welcome.

year we will no longer be taking donations for

Recycling News
Unfortunately, blister packs can’t go in our home recycling collection but they can still be recycled. They
can be left at Glebe House Surgery in Bedale when the appropriate recycling bin is available. Boots at
Catterick Garrison also offer the service but you may need to book a drop off with them.
Paul Rutter Opticians in Bedale are offering a collection box for contact lenses for recycling.
