Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

WENVOE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS

2nd – 5th JUNE 2022


We are looking forward to joining in the nationwide celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over the 4 day bank holiday weekend and the plan is to be guided by the national time line as follows.

 


 

THURSDAY 2nd JUNE

Lighting of the beacon. This will take place at 9.45 pm at the Quarrymen’s tribute in Twyn-yr-Odyn. The plan is to have a village walk, led by Dickon Oliver, from the village green to the Horse and Jockey where there will be a quiz and a menu ‘Fit for a Queen’ for those who would like to dine there. More details will follow in the coming weeks but those taking part in the Horse and Jockey events can then walk to the Quarrymen’s tribute at 9.30 in time for the beacon lighting.


FRIDAY 3rd JUNE

Service of thanksgiving. This will be an informal service and will take place at 2pm at the preaching cross in the grounds on St Mary’s church. All are welcome and are invited to bring a picnic. There will be games for the children and it will be a lovely event in the heart of the community.


SATURDAY 4th JUNE

Royal bake competition. Wenvoe residents will be invited to enter a royal baking competition. There will be two categories and these will be for cake or biscuits with a prize for the winner of each category. Entries will be judged at 11 am on Saturday morn-ing. On Saturday afternoon Wenvoe residents will be invited to call into the community centre to view display boards with stories and photographs of Wenvoe in years gone by, pull up a chair and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and sample some of the bake competition entries. Please feel free to dress in your finest 50’s style clothes and be entertained with music of the era whilst catching up with old friends and making new ones over a cuppa.


SUNDAY 5th JUNE

The Big Lunch. This can range from tea for two or a BBQ in your garden to a garden party or street party. Permission for street parties needs to have been obtained from the Vale Council. This is a great opportunity for neighbours in the community to get together, welcome newer residents and have some fun. Other ideas are in the planning stage at present and more detailed information will become available over the next few weeks on posters, which will be displayed on notice boards, various places around the village, and on the Wenvoe Community Support Group Facebook page.
