Two forthcoming Gardeners’ Club events

Posted on by

The Gardeners’ Club are highlighting two forthcoming trips – open to non-members too. The full year’s calendar of Gardeners’ Club meetings and events can now be accessed from their web page reached via “Clubs and Societies” on the menu

29th May 2019 

The principle garden visit of the summer includes an extended stopover at Northallerton en-route to Mount Grace Priory at the foot of the Cleveland Hills in North Yorkshire. The best preserved Carthusian priory in England, the Arts and Crafts manor house, and the gardens, recently renovated under the direction of Chris Beardshaw are all available to visitors. Travel by coach at a cost of £18/person from and to the village hall, pay entry of £8:60 on site (2018 price guide; concessions apply; NT and EH members free) and lose yourself in the quiet splendour of this 14th century gem. 

This visit is not exclusive to garden club members; it’s available to people of all shapes and sizes. If you are interested in coming along, Diane Sunderland will be happy to assist – 01524 782111.

20th June 2019

An evening visit to ever popular Lower Rowell Farm has been arranged for 6:30pm on 20th June. This is a return visit two years after the previous visit fell foul of the weather. Members and visitors will make their own travel plans to the site between Crooklands and Millnthorpe (LA7 7LU) for a soft guided tour of these extensive gardens laid out in 1¼ acres around the farm house. They should be rich in summer colours. Tea and biscuits will be available. National Garden Scheme charity donation of £6:00, payable on the night, applies. Visitors welcome; as always.

Cycling Road Race – 31/3/19

Posted on by

We have been given advance warning of the Capernwray Road Race due to take place on Sunday 31 March, which will mainly affect Borwick residents. The cyclists will convene and depart for the start from the Memorial Hall car park between the hours of 9am and 4pm, so there will be activity in the area for most of the day. The organisers have undertaken to complete the post-race clean-up by 7pm. The race route and other information is attached.

We have been told: “The event is taking place on 31 March. Unlike previous years, we are running two separate races this year (rather than both concurrently) to help alleviate parking and safety concerns. None-the-less, we would like to give villagers in Priest Hutton, Borwick and Capernwray fair warning that the event is coming… The races will be departing (neutralised, so not racing) from the village hall but will only start racing once they are out of Borwick and away down to Capernwray. The course itself is attached along with the flyers we are going to try and distribute over the coming days.”

“Stan and Ollie” movie comes to the Memorial Hall on 12/4/19 at 7.30 pm

Posted on by

“Stan and Ollie”, one of 2018’s best movies, is showing at the Memorial Hall on Friday 12th April 7.30pm. Featuring Steve Coogan as Stan Laurel, and John C. Reilly as Oliver Hardy, it follows the duo on their last ever tour of the music halls of the UK, recreating some of their best comedy routines, and exploring their ongoing relationship at the end of their careers. A truly great movie even if you don’t like Laurel and Hardy (according to Mrs Webmaster). Adults £4, children £1.
