Ceildh with Bald Mountain String Band in Aid of St Mary's Church

This ceilidh is supporting St Mary’s church in Threlkeld which has been at the centre of village life for many centuries. It was last refurbished 250 years ago. We want to celebrate this in style! However, now the church needs to be repaired and refreshed for the next couple of hundred years. We seek for the church to continue traditional and enlivened Christian worship eg. Messy church or dramatisations but also to be able to provide warmth and better hospitality to those using the church eg. School activities, mums and babies and social groups for older people and those living with difficulties . We are undertaking repairs and installing a new heating system (air source heat pump for sustainability) and insulation. There will also be provision of a toilet and kitchen and the removal of the centre pews to give a flexible space for activities. The profits from this ceilidh will go towards this project. Bald Mountain String Band started in the 60s as the Berkshire Tragedy, Peter and Chris, along with concertina and melodeon player, and clog dancer, Ian Dunmur, played together until Chris and Peter moved to the Lakes in 1987. They are now a family band, joined by daughter Jo and her husband Mick. Hence, Bald Mountain String Band was born.

The Great Stainton Balsam Bash – Round 2 at Baron’s Cross Quarry

Join PACT on Saturday 1st August as we take a second bash at Stainton’s Baron’s Cross Quarry, to rid it of as much invasive Himalayan Balsam as possible! What to wear: Old clothes are best! We highly recommend long-sleeve tops and trousers, as you might be pulling out balsam amongst nettles and thistles. Please wear sturdy shoes or wellies, and bring thick waterproof gardening gloves to protect your hands. What to bring: A packed lunch, drinks, gardening gloves, and sunscreen or waterproofs just in case. Ages: All ages are welcome, although the activity is not very suitable for young children. Accessibility: The site is fully accessible by foot, with uneven ground in places. Where to meet: Please meet at the quarry entrance – what3words ///reduction.decay.ignites . There is no parking at the quarry but a small amount of parking at the top of St John’s Road where it joins Fairybead Lane, a very short walk from the quarry entrance. The reward: Hard work deserves a treat, so we will provide the cake! Booking Information: Free but booking preferred to help us know numbers – book here https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GTDZ
