A GENTLE REMINDER AND

Just a gentle and respectful reminder to a minority to please pick up after your dog in the playing field. It’s just that we’ve noticed an increase lately in dog poop being left behind.

Thank you for your understanding.

RIDLINGTON VILLAGE HALL REPORT AND ACCOUNT 2024

Please see the two reports which will be presented at the Parish AGM on May 6th 6:00pm, so please come along and ask any questions or express any comments you may have.

Ridlington VH 2024 Report

Village Hall A:C SUMMARY 2024

The Trustees welcome anyone who would like to join us in maintaining the Hall for the benefit of all Parishioners. Please contact me if you are interested. You will see in the accounts that we have an operating deficit for 2024, but are fortunate that this was covered by interest from our deposit account which, although very healthy, will be needed in the hopefully very distant future to repair or replace the Collyweston slate front roof.

In 2025 we will be holding 3 coffee mornings, a Curry Night in October and a Christmas social night. If all these are well attended we would hope that we will not be in deficit again this financial year. And if anyone is able to organise an additional fundraising event for the Village Hall, please let a Trustee know, you will have our full support.

SCOTT & SCOTT

Hi All,

We are offering Whole or Half Lambs.  Whole Lambs £220, Half Lambs £110.  The Lamb as always is grass fed from our Family Farms in Harringworth and Ayston.  The Lambs have been bred and raised on the farm.  They will be hung for flavour and tenderness, before being carefully butchered to suit your individual needs.

We will also have fresh lamb available on the 5th April.  If you would like to order a joint for Easter, I will be happy to store it here in our freezers for collection just before Easter, if that helps anyone.

Please order before Monday 24th March.

I will be sending out a poster for the Shop nearer the time, as always, any requests or questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any time on the number below and I will be pleased to help.

Kind Regards,
