Jubilee Day in Stratfield Saye There were posters all round the village to say “Please come and celebrate Jubilee Day!” So most of the village decided they’d go And the Duke of Wellington opened the show. There were... Country crafts and burgers and ale, Plants and cakes and books for sale, Pony rides and ferret races, Children laughing with painted faces, Village photos of days gone by, And classic cars to please the eye, A bouncy castle and tasty cream teas, (And shelter from rain in the big marquees), Morris dancing and children racing, Tombola, hoopla and basket making, Raffle (great prizes) and yummy ice cream, All of it ending with ‘God Save the Queen.’ Many thanks to Suzanne, and to Clive, Mike and Penny And Richard, Jane and the helpers (there were many). It was so well organised, despite all the rain, That next time we all hope they’ll do it again!
There are a few jubilee mugs left, if any children of the village were unable to collect their free mugs at the celebration parents are invited to contact Clive Manser (01256 881555) to arrange collection. The mugs are also being sold at £4.50 each. This is while stocks last. See all the photos on the website Page 13
