Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Just a reminder that there will be a Jubilee event on Sunday 3rd June.   The morning will begin with a special service at 11 o’clock in St. Mark’s Church.  Following this at around 12.30pm a picnic, which is part of the National Big Picnic, will be held on the Village Green.  Those who do not wish to be part of the service may join us at this point.  We hope you will bring some food which can be shared with others present.  During the shared picnic the Kendal Concert Band will play to entertain us.
                              
The occasion is one for all the family. Everyone is invited to dress for the occasion and to take part, particularly the children, in a fancy dress competition.  You are invited to dress regally or as a character from the last sixty years.  This will be followed by some novelty sports events for the fit and healthy, the young at heart, and the children.

The event will culminate with Dave, a professional entertainer, leading us in a sing-song of some popular songs from the last sixty years.  We are hoping for a super fine day but should the weather be inclement then we will do as much as possible in the Village Hall which, in any case, will be open for cloakroom use.  We hope you and your family will join in this celebration.
