Jubilee Picnic – Message from the Organisers
We are very lucky that Friends of Freshford have donated two kegs of cider and the NTWI ladies are baking special Jubilee cup-cakes. These will be available free of charge on the Tyning until supplies are exhausted.
Pleas for help….!
- We are planning to have a children’s games area at the War Memorial end of the Tyning. Are there any Mummies and Daddies out there who would like to get together to co-ordinate this and generally help supervise it on the day – we Grannies and Grandpas are too old! We already have the following offers of garden games
- Giant JENGA
- Swingball
- TACTIC
- KUBB
- Decoration of the Tyning with bunting and flags
We are suggesting strings of bunting between the bollard tree supports on the south side of the road – can anybody help with bunting and setting up? Alternative ideas would be most welcome.
The current plan for the day is as follows:
1000 Tyning road closed
1000 onwards Start setting up – bring your chairs/rugs/picnic tables/umbrellas/gazebos/games etc
Set up children’s games area west end of the Tyning (War Memorial end)
Erect bunting/decorations
1200 Picnic starts
1400 Judging and prize-giving for best Jubilee outfits
1600 Picnic ends, complete clear up, road re-opens
Please note that this event is based on Doing it Ourselves – this extends to taking your picnic kit and rubbish home at the end!
Please send comments, suggestions and offers of help to Peter and Sue King on kingfreshford@gmail.com or 01225 723765
Can’t wait to see you all on the 2nd June!
