TEA WITH MR DARCY: On Friday 29th July a packed village hall had a great experience. Judith Hedley was excellent – clear, lively, humorous, interesting and informative. Additionally, the syllabub, rout cakes and ratafia biscuits she made were very nice indeed. Those men who stayed away missed out big time! Never mind, it is rumoured that there may well be another similar event close to Christmas – a ‘Dickens Christmas Special’?

ART GROUP VISIT TO SALFORD QUAYS: This was a pleasant day with 29 participants enjoying an excellent exhibition, great food and also the National War Museum North which was close by.  The museum was very good but you need plenty of time to it justice.

GARDENING CLUB VISIT: Gardening Club Evening visit to Ellicar Gardens at Gringley on-the-Hill. A great visit to this family garden which featured an amazing Natural Pool as well as wonderful planting. Some said this was the best garden they have ever visited.
