Thank you to Mike H for this account and photos of today’s ‘Tea & Cakes’ in Alsop Churchyard:
Despite being short-staffed, volunteers at Alsop-en-le-Dale manned a stall brimming with cakes, jams and chutney today in the churchyard of St Michael & the Angels. Nothing could compare with basking in the spring sunshine supping a refreshing cuppa and tucking into a slice of home-made cake.
If you missed today, there will be three other opportunities on upcoming bank holiday Mondays. This year they will be on 5th May, 26th May and 25th August. We recommend you make a note in your diaries!

Thank you all once more…..!

New Mowers in Churchyard
Posted in 2013, Church, Farming, Posts of Note on Monday October 7, 2013| 1 Comment »
“Has a temporary replacement been found for Mick’s section?” David G.
Added 11am Monday 7th. The flying flock have flown.
A big thank you and help required.

Mick Edge sent in the following request for a volunteer or volunteers to temporarily take over his voluntary mowing in St. Peter’s Churchyard:
To whom it may concern,
Stuart Chambers talked to me regarding asking for help for a season to mow my section of the Churchyard, because of my other commitments. Would the people please come forward, who are saying I spend too much time talking, when I should be mowing, to do their bit. If it was a paid position the situation would be different. I am looking forward to you all volunteering.
Mick Edge
Stuart asked us to give a very big thanks to Mick for all the work he has done in the Churchyard to date and to say that “he will be much missed” over the next season (not least because “he has the worst part of the church yard“). The Churchyard is looking really great and all the team, that work so hard keeping it so, do a fantastic job. If you are able to help, please speak to Mick or Stuart.

Today saw the Fearless Four (Mick, Ian, David and David) brave record tempuratures and very heavy stones to start work on leveling parts of St. Peter’s churchyard and straightening the leaning gravestones. They made fantastic progress. The churchyard is looking really good with their and other’s hard work.

This year’s service will be held on the Campsite on Parson’s Croft. It will be led again this year by Rev. Andy Larkin.

The Service is followed by an opportunity to sit and chat, with tea and coffee provided by the campers.

Tug o’War and Volleyball are regulars at this friendly (but fiercely contested) sporting extravaganza, before we move on to more unusual competitions to test the skills of the participants.
6.00 pm – Treasure Hunts around the Village.
Assemble on the Green for a 6.00 pm start (even if it rains – and it usually does!)
For many years Pippa Sillitoe set our Junior Treasure Hunt for the under 14s. Pippa has now left the village and this year the questions have been set by Sharon Rankin. The Village Treasure Hunt for the over 13s has been set by Val Stevenson and Fiona Hadfield.
8.00 pm – Wakes BBQ at the Legion.
A chance to mull over the questions and decide just where you went wrong!
Sausages & pork burgers provided by Paul Dickinson.
