Village Hall News
The next Village Hall Committee meeting will be at 7 pm on
Monday 24
August. We have invited a local representative
from ACRE (Action with
Communities in Rural England) to
talk to us about grants for which our building
may be eligible.
If you have any suggestions, please let me or another
member
of the committee know, and we will explore them.
We are arranging a community event for the 2026 Lloyds Tour
of Britain
cycle race. The women race in the middle of August,
but on Saturday 5th September
the men will leave Helmsley
in the morning and finish in Leyburn, possibly
around 3.30 pm.
The race will pass right across the front of the Village Hall.
We will be putting up bunting and the Bar will be open from 12
noon till 3 pm; there will be a lunchtime barbecue, followed by
tea and coffee and cakes
in the afternoon. Offers of help and
contributions of salads and baking will be
very welcome.
There will be bike-related games running through the afternoon
and if
anyone has an exercise bike we can borrow, a ‘static bike
ride’ competition.
Other ideas and suggestions welcome.
Car parking at the Village Hall during the day will be reserved for
local people with mobility problems. However, further car parking
will be
available at Rock House Farm for those coming from more
than walking distance
to view the race and enjoy the community
event. In the evening the car
park will be reserved for people
attending the Live Music in Newton event
with Joe Burke.
The Bar will be open for the LMiN, and Will’s GOAT
(Gratest Of
All Toasts) toastie van will be in attendance in the car park.
Hoping to see you there!
