Photos of the Jubilee Tree Planting

The jubilee tree planting took place on Sunday 3rd March 2013. The tree was planted down Gale Carr Lane.

Geoff did the honours and planted the tree.

There was a small turn out of villagers to mark the occasion.

Thanks once again to Paul K for all his hard work in organising this and getting the area ready for the tree planting, he worked very hard and has made the area look very nice.

We are hoping to put a plaque near the tree so anyone walking the public footpath will know that this tree was planted to commemorate the Queen's diamond jubilee.

Planting Of Diamond Jubilee Tree

Just to let you know that we have bought an oak tree to plant in the village to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee.

We will be planting the tree on Sunday 3rd March at 11am so everyone is welcome.

The tree will be planted down Gale Carr Lane, near the s bend where the thick hedge is near the public footpath.

Thanks to Paul K for organising this and getting the tree plant and materials for this.

Jubilee Thanks

The Jubilee committee just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who helped to make the village celebrations so successful. Without the help of everyone the event would not have been possible.

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, music system, lights etc, thanks for the food, the sausages, buns and trifles went down a treat. Thanks for all the bunting, flags & table cloths that helped to make the barn look special and the wonderful jubilee flower arrangements that were personalised with the childrens decorated crowns, what a lovely touch. Thanks for the music compilation and for preparing the children's food and helping on the day with serving the food. The bouncy castle, pinatas and garden games at Stoneleigh were a great hit with the children and the medals for the fancy dress competition will be treasured for a long time to come. 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 Tuesday.


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

A final thanks must go 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.

 

The children all looked brilliant in their fancy dress costumes so thanks for all your efforts.

The committee have received a few notes of thanks for the celebrations which I thought I would share with you.

" Thanks for the lovely hospitality." -Gilly and Rob (Lisa's Parents)

"Can you pass on to the villagers of Bielby how wonderful I thought it was that there are people wiling to give up there time and thank them for making us feel really welcome.  I think this Jubilee has been really good for everyone bringing good old fashioned values into a crazy world." Sue (Jenny W's friend)

"Dear Jubilee Committee,
Thank you so much for inviting Rob & I to your Diamond Jubilee Celebration. We both enjoyed it very much.
It was good to meet up again with village residents both old and new.
Thank you also for the "OBE" it certainly was a lovely surprise. The certificate will be framed & displayed in a prominent position in our home.
With many thanks once again.
Best Wishes to you all.
Yours Margaret & Rob"

Thanks again everyone, a jubilee celebration to remember!

Jubilee Fever

The warm weather and next weekend's two day bank holiday is getting villagers in the party mood. This bucket O spuds was captured basking in the sunshine trying on its Diamond Jubilee fancy dress outfit.

"Other brands of beer are available"

The Bielby Blogmaster interviewed the bucket o spuds and asked if this was going to be the actual fancy dress outfit it would be wearing at next weeks party?

"No," replied the bucket, "I was just wearing the Union Flag hat to keep the sun off my leaves, I'm of course going to come as King Edward!!"


What will you be wearing at the jubilee party?

It's going to be a good turn out from Bielby residents, with total ticket sales at 130 we're looking forward to a great celebration.
