FEB - Fund Raising Formal Dinner
A formal dinner with after dinner speaker was enjoyed by fifty villagers and invited friends and families from Hutton Roof and Newbiggin on Friday 25th February.
Guests were greeted with a complementary damson gin and tonic aperitif followed by a three course meal using traditional recipes and ingredients supplied locally.
The village hall was beautifully decorated with a theme of purple, white and dark green with lots of flowers and ivy and the candlelit meal was served by a team of local ladies.
The speaker was retired professional football referee Dave Allinson who entertained the diners with tales from his former career. There was also a raffle and games throughout the evening which raised in total approximately £500 towards the cost of new disabled toilet facilities. |  |

High Point of the Walk
The view from the top of Farleton Knott is fantastic, with a glimpse of the sea and the Lakeland Fells in the distance.
It was a glorious day, the views were spectacular.
An impromptu BBQ at Hil & Phil's rounded off the day nicely.

JULY - Moth Identification Evening
 | A group of 17 villagers attended an evening of moth spotting in Park Wood led by Rob Petley-Jones from English Nature and other experts from Cumbria Wildlife Trust. The group met at 9.30pm on Friday 22nd July 2005 and after a detailed safety brief, set off to find out what Hutton Roof had to offer. It was an amazing evening with over 70 species of moth being identified.
The experts who supplied a wealth of information about lifecycles, habitats and rarity, etc. of moths. There were some beautiful moths about that night including Brimstone, Emerald Green, July High Flyer and many more (detailed list to be added). All moths were set free after identification. Thanks to the experts for a fascinating evening.
Park Wood is Number 15 in the English Nature 'National Nature Reserves in Cumbria'. According to English Nature 'Park Wood lies on a limestone ridge. It is an example of rare northern calcareous ashwood with hazel, wych elm and maple. The reserve is managed by Cumbria Wildlife Trust, and supports important butterfly and moth populations, including the beautiful snout moth'. |
