Ollerton and Carol Campbell, the latter also winning the Edna Hartland stableford and the President’s Cup (ladies). Pam Chamberlain was a worthy winner of the Eva Watmough Cup. We sincerely hope that the sunny weather makes a welcome return soon!
Grange over Sands NSPCC On Saturday afternoon, 16th August, an event was held, in the United Reformed Church, entitled “Tea at the Palace”. NSPCC supporters thoroughly enjoyed this successful and social afternoon that had been suggested and organised by Margaret Northcott and Joyce Church with the aid of the NSPCC Grange over Sands Committee. Although the Queen herself had been invited she was unable to come but did send a letter from Buckingham Palace wishing the event went well. However, Rita Laisby did arrive in the guise of the Queen with her two trusty attendants and was given a patriotic welcome!! During the afternoon we enjoyed musical entertainment provided by Victor Hindle, Sue Harrison and Sylvia Trohear. We are most grateful to them all for their hard work in providing such a pleasant afternoon. The competitions that we held were “Guess the Dog and Bone name”, won by Cath Canning; “Best Dressed” won by Angela Nottingham; and “Best Hat” won by Maureen Barratt. Our sincere thanks go to all the NSPCC supporters who attended and helped raise £750 in total. Next year we shall be looking forward to a similar event entitled “Afternoon Tea in the Highlands” on 15th August 2015.

On 20th August 16 walkers met at the Dudden Bridge iron furnace on a bright cool trip up through Stanley Wood along narrow paths with splashes of sunlight, passing Ash House then to the old road, some took the stepping stone route past Beck Farm meeting up with the remainder who took the road via Broadgate, a coffee break was taken in warm and sunny field , picking ripe sweet blackberries as we went along the road and farm track, Lunch at the Kirk Stone Circle with the views of the ancient builders past. Passing Swinside farm then around the edge of Lath Rigg and the quarried out cave to the edge of Barrow, the last stop with great views over Duddon Sands and mountains further north, all members enjoyed the sunny 6.5 miles circular walk.
