Grand Attic Auction – Saturday, 14 September

This annual event is normally held in May but this year is being staged later in the year – 14 September. All proceeds go to St Columba’s Church Funds. As usual, the auctioneer will be Asenby resident John Phillips. Viewing on the day will be 12 noon to 2pm with the sale commencing promptly at 2pm. The organisers hope locals will save and collect any items that might be suitable for the auction – furniture, books, bric-a-brac and even antiques! (but no TV sets, computers, clothes, bedding or used soft toys thanks). Items for the sale should be delivered to the Village Hall between 8 and 11am on the day. Limited storage might be available if items cannot be held until the sale. Contact John on 01845 577034. 

Blues & Country with Five Loose Chippings – Saturday, 30 November

This Thirsk-based group of musicians play a whole range of music from Blues and Country through to a variety of popular songs. They have all played in other formats to sell-out audiences over the last few years. Audiences have described them as “a nod to bluegrass and western swing, amazingly entertaining’ and ‘foot-tappingly sensational”. Bring your own drinks and nibbles. Tickets £5 from Judith Lowe (577911) or Doug Allan (578526).
