We are looking for volunteers for the annual strim and rake of the churchyard.
Sunday, 7th September at 11:00, followed by ploughman’s lunch.
Please let Debra Thatcher know if you can join the work party on that day or are able to undertake some work in the churchyard at an earlier date – it would be good to tackle this project in a more piecemeal fashion because none of us are getting any younger!
A BIG THANK YOU is due to everyone who contributed to the great success of the four afternoon teas in August whether that was setting up, making, baking, serving, washing up and clearing up.
Great fun was had by all – volunteers and attendees and the monies raised will go towards the village charities. A grand total of 897.80 was raised.
Thank you.
Hi All,
As it is Burghley Horse Trials on the first Saturday in September, we have decided to have our next pop up shop a week earlier on the 30th August.
We will have fresh lamb, along with the usual frozen beef, venison and pork. We will as always have bacon. There will be Freshly Home Baked Sourdough (limited amount please order if you want to be sure of getting one!). I am planning to have some cake by the slice, both fresh and frozen lasagna, and hopefully one or two other bakes.
I always welcome suggestions of what you would like to see available at the pop up shops, do get in touch and let me know if you have a favourite.
If you would like a specific cut of lamb, joint or pack size please do let me know by Wednesday evening so I can ask the butcher to prepare it for you.
If you are unable to come to the shop on Saturday and would like to visit at another time, please don’t hesitate to give me a text, call or email at any time.
Kind Regards
Sue Scott

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
Saturday, 13th September ‘Ride and Stride’ in support of the Rutland Historic Churches Preservation Trust.
Volunteers needed to ride and or stride and to welcome visitors to the church.
Please let Debra Thatcher know if able to help.
The next Food Bank collection is on Wednesday, 20th August.
Please continue to give generously to support this local charity.
Thank you to all those who attended the ‘Ridlington Singers’ concert ‘Anything Goes’ on Friday, July 4th, and thank you all for your generous donations.
An amazing total of £400 has been shared between LOROS and Ridlington Church.
A huge thanks from the Playing Field Trustees to all those who supported our quiz fundraiser in May.
We had a fun evening and were delighted to sell out again! Particular congratulations to the Thatchers and their team, for their very convincing win!
The evening raised nearly £600, vital funds to help maintain this beautiful space. Look out for our next date in December; we look forward to welcoming you then!
A good mixture this month.
The first, a beautiful novel “For thy Great Pain have Mercy on my Little Pain” by Victoria Mackenzie imagining a meeting between the anchoress Julian of Norwich who wrote the first English language book attributed to a woman and the mystic Margery Kempe who wrote the first English language autobiography. I would recommend this especially if you are keen to try something different.
In a similar vein, “Royal Bounty – the Making of a Welfare Monarchy” by Frank Prochaska, scholarly research on the evolution of the English monarchy and the political landscape of the 20th Century especially the role of royal patronage.
Next, a psychological thriller, Patricia Highsmith’s “Strangers on a Train”, a great first novel – be careful who you meet!
Finally, murder in a small English village, not written by Agatha Christie but of that ilk – Ngaio Marsh’s “Scales of Justice”, a cast of suspects for the murder of Colonel Cartarette – a good whodunnit.
