Looking back on the York floods
We had a super and very interesting talk in Ebberston village hall by members of Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue team on 19th January about their response to the York floods, how and where the worst of the floods happened and how the team ended up coordinating all the MR teams that came in to the city (from as far away as Exmoor!). The hall was full and we were very happy to have made a donation to the team for all their efforts.
Over the last few years, the team has been deployed to an increasing number of water-based rescues and searches, especially in response to flooding (as at York last year but also Whitby and Scarborough just the previous week when there was a tidal surge).
Just earlier the same say, the team were also handed over a new boat donated by Pickering and District Rotary Club after some fabulous fundraising. The new boat will help the team deploy to deeper water and carry more passengers in similar circumstances.
We’re sure they’d be willing to come to your village hall and talk too for a donation!
Macmillan cancer support coffee morning
Come along this Saturday!
A Short History of Bothams Bakery
Jo Botham (great grandson of Elizabeth Botham) came to Ebberston village hall this week to give a talk about the history of this very local institution. We had a great turnout as well and raised over £150 for village hall funds.
We were amazed at the number of children this astonishing (and formidable by all accounts) lady had all while setting up and expanding her Whitby business! We also found out that Bothams were the first business in the UK to sell food online!
Thanks to everyone who came along.
New year, new craft group
A new craft group starts in Ebberston at the village hall on Monday 11th Jan, 2pm. Hope you can come along!
Events at Ebberston Village Hall
October saw our Antipodean Quiz organised with great flair and gusto by Lynne and Allan Hall. It was a hugely enjoyable evening accompanied by a pie and pea supper and a delicious meringue pavlova dessert. Those who could not make it missed a great evening!
Our next event is on Friday 20th November at 7pm when we will be having a ‘Singalong-a-uke’ Ebberston Style with Thornton Dale Ukulele group. Entry £4 on the door and raffle. Hope to see you there!
Hope Centre Orphanage, Nepal – an illustrated talk
The Hope Centre orphanage in Nepal is home to 30 children. New Futures Nepal empowers disadvantaged children and adults of Nepal by raising funds for initiatives that promote health, education and independence and supports social integration for children with disabilities to live in the community and within safe and loving homes. This will be an enlightening and enjoyable talk about the charity’s work. There will be a raffle at the end of the evening too.
Village Fair 2015 – gallery of images
A big THANK YOU to everyone who braved the damp weather and came to our fair this year. It did not look too good in the morning but as predicted (well, checking 5 different forecasts to see which one fitted best did help!) it did really clear up and was dry for the whole afternoon. We even manged to take the marquees down that evening. And despite the weather, we managed to raise over £1000 for the village hall alone.
Thank to sponsors TEF Transport and Dalby Firewood, all the raffle prize donors and everyone who came – you all helped to make it a really fun and worthwhile day for all the village organisations, clubs, enterprises and fundraisers.
