Jubilee Event More Info

The Jubilee Committee are delighted that so many Bielby residents are able to attend. 

We are pleased to say that all ticket requests received can be catered for and we look forward to celebrating with you all. 

Thanks to all those who have paid already. If you still need to pay for your tickets you can either pop the money in at Alex's house or Sara's at Common Farm. We need final numbers and payment by Friday 20th May.

Also just a reminder that on Saturday 4th June we are meeting at 2pm at the church (not 3pm as mentioned recently - my error I pressed the wrong number!). 

Dress code is red, white and blue for all with younger children in any fancy dress. 

After a photo opportunity at the church.... 

.... we will parade down the Main street to Stoneleigh where the Stoneleigh residents will judge the children's fancy dress competition and the children and some of us adults may take part in some fun sports day races, so get your running shoes on! Aiming to leave Stoneleigh by 4pm.

We will welcome you all at the barn at 4.30pm aiming to start our opening ceremony and Bielby awards after everyone has settled in around 5pmish.

We have not confirmed the pie and peas time yet with the caterers but aiming for somewhere around 6ish as we will have over 100 pies to serve!

The musical entertainment will be starting around 7.15pm and may include two sets with a break in between. Live music to finish before 9.30pm and event to end at 10pm

All timings and schedule of activities to be confirmed. 

We will confirm timings and entertainment schedule in the coming weeks.

We will need extra tables and chairs so we will let you know a date to bring them down and when we aim to decorate the barn. 

Photo Request - if anyone has any photos of any village events both recent and old we would love a copy to display in the barn. The events don't have to be a past jubilee event, just any interesting photos of Bielby events and residents would be lovely to see. Or they could be photos of the school in Bielby or the house/building as they were in the past. If you have a copy of a photo you can bring it down to Sara or if you want to email your photos so Sara can print off then please email ridsdalesara@gmail.com Thank you. 

We are going to display photos of the 2012 jubilee as we have lots of photos of the fabulous day we spent at Stoneleigh and the barn 10 years ago. The jubilee in the 1970s was also held at Common farm so if anyone has any photos of this that would be great as we unfortunately don't have any.

I am currently printing photos of village events I have attended in Bielby in the last 18 years I have lived here - duck race, harvest festival, jubilee tree planting, rogation tide walk, music festival, produce show, Halloween at Stoneleigh... to name a few.

Homemade vases for the tables - if anyone wishes to make a homemade vase for their table from a tin can then anything goes to decorate and fill it, they don't have to be red, white and blue.

If anyone has any decorations/ table cloths then please let Sara know what you, thank you.

Tray bakes - if any bakers in the village wish to make a tray bake then please let us know what you will be making. Thanks.

We are looking forward to the day, fingers crossed for sunshine.
