Diamond Jubilee

Village Celebrations over the weekend in June 2012




In the week leading up to the Jubilee everyone was encouraged to decorate their homes with bunting and flags. Early on Sunday morning as the dawn chorus got underway, a panel of judges visited all areas of the Parish  in their quest to find the best dressed home or public space.
The  presentation took place in the Marquee later but I think they were all winners in their own right.
Well done to everyone who took part.

 

 

 

Sunday the 3rd of June and the original plans for the day were for the celebrations to have been an open air event through and through but , as with all such events in the dear old UK, the weather decides these things for us. Undaunted, our own "Garston Gallopers" braved the conditions and danced for a very appreciative audience out in the car park - and the rain.
Time now for a touch of audience participation, and in spite of the rain, there were plenty of willing volunteers.
