Jubilee Thanks

Hi All,

We can hardly put into words how amazing our jubilee event was from start to finish it was just fabulous. Thanks to all for helping make it such a wonderful event and making memories for us all. It was great coming together as a community.

Thanks to Dale, Leeanne, Will and Ed and all the team at Stoneleigh, Val and Pete, Alex, Tony, Helen, Steve, Ian, Judith and the Simpson family and all the band plus all our fabulous helpers in the village who made it a super day.

Thanks to all those who helped to clear, clean and decorate the barn prior to the event, to those who brought down the much needed chairs, tables, bales and other equipment - speakers, pa system, lights, staging, band equipment etc, thanks for the food, buns and traybakes went down a treat. Thanks for all the bunting, children's games, flags, photos, lights & table cloths that helped to make the barn look special plus the jubilee table arrangements by some villagers and the jubilee squares made by some of the village children and teens. Thanks for the live music and for preparing the children's food and helping on the day with serving the food. The bouncy castle and sports day games, drinks and cakes at Stoneleigh were a great hit with the children and adults and the medals for the fancy dress competition will be treasured for a long time to come. The children all looked brilliant in their fancy dress costumes so thanks for all your efforts.

Thanks to all those who helped with the smooth running of the event on the day and then all those who helped with the clear up on Sunday.

Thanks must also go to Laveracks for the pie and peas and Waterland Event Hire for the hire of the toilets.

Thanks to everyone who attended the event for making the day so special, everyone really got into the spirit of it and the sea of red, white and blue parading up the village was certainly a sight to see.

Thanks must go to the staff and residents of Stoneleigh for making the large crowd of villagers, friends, family and of course the "queen" so welcome.

Dale wondered if it would be ok to put some photos of the children in the sports day on the Stoneleigh facebook page.

I don't mind but we just wanted to check. Thanks.

If anyone has any photos of the day then I would love to print them off to make an album along with all the other village event photos we now have.

You can email ridsdalesara@gmail.com with any photos. I've already got some come through to me already so thank you and Chris E has sent me the group photos at the church. Thanks for taking a fabulous photo Chris.

Also there are a few wine glasses, pint glasses and some plastic glasses left and a square plate and a toy which I now have in the house so if you are missing anything just pop down. I'll sort out bunting that was loaned to us this week.

On a personal note I would like to thank my friends on the committee for all their hard work and the lovely, kind things they said about Steve and I. We can't wait to see the tree grow over the coming years and I will treasure my medal and the memories.

Thanks again everyone.

Best wishes

Sara and the Jubilee Committee

Collecting Jubilee Invite

Hi All,

Just to let you know that we will be around to collect your jubilee ticket requests as soon as we can. Unfortunately a couple of the committee have covid so are unable to get out to pick them up at the moment.

If you want to drop your ticket request around then you can pop it round to myself (Sara at Common Farm, Gale Carr Lane) or any of the committee members.

Thanks

Bielby Platinum Jubilee Saturday 4th June 2022

Please see below the proposed outline of the afternoon and evening of our village Jubilee Celebrations. It will be very similar to 10 years ago. 

I know some of you have already emailed to say you would like to come, so thank you for that.  We now have more details of food and entertainment so members of the committee will be bringing this invite around and then will collect it back in with numbers wishing to attend.

We have been asked about bringing family and friends who are not in the village. This will be dependent on numbers of Bielby residents attending. Last time we were able to have our family and friends with us. In fact nearly 150 of us attended last time! 

On the ticket request form if you would like extended family/friends to come, if you can put in the numbers you would like to attend, then when we have all the invites back we can confirm your requests. 

All Bielby residents are invited and welcome to attend. It will just be the non resident numbers that we have to confirm.

If you have any questions just give me a call on 01759 318286.

Thanks.

Sara

Below is a copy of the invite ticket request leaflet that will be delivered to your door!

Jubilee Event Saturday 4th June 2022

 The village jubilee event will take place on the afternoon/evening of Saturday 4th June 2022 so please save the date.

A group of us are meeting this week to organise activities for the day. If anyone has any ideas or contacts for entertainment etc then please get in touch with Sara. 

So that we can organise the event and get an idea of numbers, it would really help us if you could email Sara if you wish to attend and let us know the number of adults and children hoping to come, just so we have a rough idea of numbers. 

We realise June is still a long way off and people's plans can change but it would help us to organise activities/catering/entertainment for the day if we have an idea of numbers.

If you could email Sara (ridsdalesara@gmail.com) by the 20th February that would be helpful.  Thank you very much. Thanks to all those who have already let us know.

Following our meeting this week we will put together the itinerary for the event and post it on here and and also drop round with an "invite" so we can get an idea of numbers.

If you have any ideas please get in touch.

We look forward to celebrating as a village once again.
