Dates and events for you diary
Saturday 31st January 2026 – 4.15pm 2nd annual Wassail! with Holt Ridge Morris.
This will take the same format as last year with the celebration in the community woodland followed by morris dancing and some joining-in dances in the memorial hall.
Last year Barley and Mike from the committee became the Wassail Queen and King. Let’s hope this year for new temporary monarchs. Feel free to put your name in the frame.
We plan to play some folk music tunes during the evening too. If you have an instrument that you can easily transport and you fancy playing some folk tunes, do bring them along and join in
The Pop-up-Pub will also be in attendance so too will be Askers woodfired pizza van.
Monday 2nd February 2026 – Ryburgh Wildlife Group AGM
This will be in the memorial hall. The AGM will recap what the Group has achieved this year; how our local wildlife hotspots are faring; its finances; and our plans for 2026.
Do come along. We still have space for a couple more committee members. If you like to become a committee member, please let us know.
After the formal AGM there will be an illustrated talk by Janet Smith on hedgehogs. The challenges they face; how people can help; and the work of Ryston Rachel’s Hedgehog Hotel. We all know hedgehogs are in trouble and I’m sure this will be a fascinating talk. Do please register by email to info.ryburghwildlife@gmail.com for the AGM and the talk.
