The Asenby Institute
With regret, due to the lack of committee members, there will be no Asenby barbeque this year.
If the future of the playing field and play area is to be secured, an Asenby Committee is essential.
PLEASE- we need members!
We are here for everybody- we are not a committee just for young people and need a cross section of villagers of all ages.
Our committee is searching for a viable project, but we have reached a turning point. We will fold if we do not have the support of a larger committee.
PLEASE get in touch.

St Georges Day
I have found prior to moving to Asenby that St. Georges Day has never been a big day for celebration, unlike St. Patricks Day when it would seem that the rivers turn to Guinness!
However when I moved to Asenby 2 years ago I was absolutely delighted to discover that St. Georges Day was a big celebration. It was organised previously by people from Asenby and held in Topcliffe Village Hall and what a great celebration it was.
This year, Asenby Institute was approached with regards to organising a St. Georges Day event. After thinking about it and one of the members having recently attended an excellent Curry Night Pub Quiz at The Lamb in Rainton, we approached Steve from The Lamb to organise a Pub Quiz in celebration of Great Britain.
The food was to be good old traditional British grub, we decided on Bangers ‘n’ Mash and Asenby Institute supplied the Apple Pie and Cream for pudding along with some prizes for the Raffle and the ‘quick fire’ questions and then the fun began…
I am pleased to report that after costs, we made £208, how fab is that!
Cont....
I would love to say a huge Thank You to everyone who came along and supported us that night, especially members of the Parish Council who helped sell tickets and came along to join in the fun. Also I would love to thank Steve and Bev from The Lamb at Rainton for holding the Pub Quiz for us, I know they often hold Pub Quizzes so watch out for the next one, I think Steve really enjoys doing them.
I would also like to say Thank You to all the Domino Players who were at The Lamb that night, I am sure that the wonderful smell of Bangers ‘n’ Mash was very off putting, Good Luck in your future tournaments.
Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you all at the Asenby Village BBQ in June on the Playing Field, here’s to more fun!

The Land Girls of Yorkshire
A new comedy. Written and directed by Kate Bramley (ex-Hull Truck Theatre) Original music by Jez Lowe (Radio 2 SONY ACADEMY AWARD winner)
Starring Natalie Bennett and Lois Creasy 'Some girls just aren't cut out for farming...' It’s wartime, and there are some new arrivals in the village. They’re turning heads and breaking hearts as the fine girls of the Women’s Land Army take to the hills.
This brand new show is the latest comedy two-hander from Badapple's resident writer as she celebrates the highs and lows of the wonderful women who helped keep Britain fed during World War II, set against a backdrop of glorious music of the age, as well as new tunes by songwriter Jez Lowe.
Although a fictional tale, this play owes much to the reminiscences of a number of Land Army Girls who contributed their own personal stories to this exciting new comedy.
Topcliffe and Asenby Village Hall, Sat 4th July, 8pm. Tickets £8 full price, £6.50 concessions, £4 under 16's.
Tickets on 01423 339168 or www.badapple.freeserve.co.uk
