The Asenby Institute Barbecue
Our annual barbecue will be held on Saturday 26th June 2010. Please put the date in your diary and encourage as many fellow villagers as you can to come along.
As you may remember, we had to cancel the barbecue last year as there were not enough committee members to be able to go ahead with it. It takes a lot of hard work to organise, set up and clear up afterwards. Last year there were just not enough hands!
However, we have a couple more great volunteers this year. We feel it is such a wonderful opportunity for the villagers to get together and so much fun for all that we really want to try it again! Please support us.
Look Out For Posters and Fliers!
The St George Quiz was another successful evening and we thank all at The Lamb Inn at Rainton for their work. Thanks to those of you who supported us too.
It seems an age since the Mulled Wine evening but again this proved a successful night. Thanks to the Avisons for hosting the evening. Part of the funds raised on this evening have been used to fill the lovely flower baskets on the bus stop.
Some of you may wonder what happens to the proceeds from other events. After paying for grass cutting and general upkeep of the recreation areas (such as repairing the see-saw), the money goes towards a project for the village. At the moment we need ideas of what this project should be. We would like to appeal to villagers of all ages, so if you have any ideas, perhaps chat to one of the committee members at the barbecue.

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!
