In early December 2015 “Storm Desmond” tore through Cumbria.
Although not so badly affected as many other towns and villages, we saw Asby Beck turn from its normally gentle stream (often completely dry above St Helen’s Well) into a raging torrent.
Yet, just 24 hours later, the sun was shining and our world was beginning to return to normal.
This video by local residents Ben Hadler and Christine Davison shows this dramatic change.

ATG Activities
We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.
The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)
Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.
We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending. (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
