The Asenby Institute
We are delighted to have new and VERY MUCH WELCOMED members of our committee Linda, Liz, Cathy and Margaret. Hopefully this will herald a fresh look to the committee with new ideas and projects for the whole village.
Christmas is almost upon us! Please come to our Mince Pie and Mulled Wine evening. As well as being fun and a fantastic way to meet new and 'old' villagers alike, it could also be a time for any of you to share ideas for how we can help and improve the village; Also many of you may have noticed that we need to repair the see-saw in the playground. However, we need to raise more funds in order to do this. Grass cutting, upkeep and repair seem to be swallowing money!!!
So, we hope to see as many of you as possible there and may we take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

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!
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.
Cont....
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!
