Thanks to the success of the very first ‘Thirsty Thursday’ in Stokesley in November, we’ve got another date for your diary!
Businesses and individuals in Stokesley and the surrounding areas are invited to this very informal networking event- start 2015 by meeting some new contacts!
Due to popular demand, ‘Thirsty Thursday’ will again take place at The Mill, between 5 pm – 7 pm on Thursday 22nd January.

There has been considerable interest from people for the village hall committee to start this club. Our aim is to have 100 or more members from within the parish – Seamer village, Tame Bridge and Coldpool – so that we can fund more projects for the hall for it to become even more of a community asset.
The Quiz night on November 1st, not only was super entertainment for all but managed to raised £285 for the village hall funds.
The Autumn Fayre which is on on Saturday the 15th of November will now start at 10am and not 11am as advertised before, giving you an extra hour to get all your Christmas shopping done.
