All members of the public welcome.
You will all be thrilled to hear that Keith has happily agreed to paint a picture to commemorate the Coronation celebrations.
We are proposing that photographs are taken on the day and he will use one of these (that we choose between us) as his inspiration.
The painting will be done after the event and over the summer, then framed with a dedication and hung in the village hall. Fantastic!!!
Is there anyone who could take some really good photos on the day?
Thank you Keith and to John for his excellent idea.
Annie
Here is an update on our plans for the Coronation!
The outline plan below is progressing well and you will all receive a flyer through your letterbox this week, with final details!
There is one change to be noted following feedback: many people prefer to ‘bring their own’ picnic (as per the Platinum Jubilee) rather than a bring and share. So the Village Lunch 12:00 – 4:00 pm will now be bring your own (and of course you can always share with your party!)
Please let me know how many of you will be attending so we have an idea of numbers.
Also can you let Dave Roome or me know how many you would like to attend and enter the quiz.
All we need now is SUNSHINE!
