We then see the celebrations carry on into Sunday. After the church service there
will be a coronation street party outside the village hall at 3pm. There will be a
few changes from the jubilee celebrations last year with the layout and
proceedings. The tables and chairs will all be laid out for you and the area
decorated. Please bring your own picnic with you, tea coffee and squash will be
provided.
At great expense the Throopettes have re-formed to bring you musical
entertainment through the afternoon and as we move into the evening with more
music and dancing there will be an opportunity to BBQ. Please bring with you
whatever you would like to put on the BBQ. There will be facilities provided to
keep your food cool until the evening in the hall fridge and a large chilled box, so
you don't need to go home to get it and our BBQ chefs will be on hand to cook
your items for you. Much the same system as we operated at the evening of the
lighting of the beacon in Throop for the jubilee celebrations. Fried onions and
condiments will be provided.
Should the weather be similar to that that welcomed a newly crowned queen 70
years ago then we will move inside the hall and carry on the celebrations but
hopefully we will see a balmy May afternoon and evening allowing the
celebrations to go on into the night.
The road closure as before will be in operation from 12 midday to 12 midnight
although this time round we are altering the closure points very slightly to make
access to the houses behind the ring even easier than before. We do hope to see
as many of you as possible over the weekend so we can party as only we know
how to.
Can I also take this opportunity to remind everyone that our AGM will be on the
24th of this month. At the meeting reports of the last year will be given and the full
committees tenure comes to an end and a new committee is elected. Please
give careful consideration as to whether you might be prepared to put your
name forward. There is much to consider moving forward not least of all how we
make our hall as environmentally friendly as possible so now is the time if you've
been considering getting involved to put your name forward.
ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH
Throughout the rest of May all the usual activities will continue and details of these
can be found on the notice boards and the community website as usual. I would MEETING
also like to take this opportunity of congratulating one of our key hirers, "the
community group" on their achievement in reaching ten years of Saturday coffee FRIDAY 19 MAY 2023 at 2PM
shop. Having run a coffee shop through part of covid, when regulations
permitted, I know only too well the time energy and commitment this requires. in St Laurence Church, Affpuddle
Congratulations and thank you!
ALL VERY WELCOME
