Bielby Coronation Thanks

Hi All,

Well Bielby has gone and done it again and had another brilliant event and the weather couldn't have been better.

We can hardly put into words how amazing our coronation 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, Lee-anne, Ed, Dale's mum and all the team and residents at Stoneleigh for hosting a brilliant event and for all your hard work and generosity and making all the villagers, family and friends feel so welcome as always.

The fancy dress competition is always brilliant, so thanks to the residents for judging this as it's not an easy task with so many wonderful costumes. The commemorative medals given out for taking part in the fancy dress will be treasured for many years to come, I'm sorely tempted to dress up myself next time!😂

The sports day always goes down well and brings out the friendly competitive nature in us all! Both fabulous to watch and take part in, so thanks Lee-ann for organising this.

The tombola is great fun and the summerhouse tipples go down a treat. Thanks for all your donations, Stoneleigh appreciate your generosity.

The animals were a hit with children and adults alike, so thanks Rachel from the Purple Pig Company.

The children also enjoyed the bouncy castle and lots enjoyed the garden games, football, frisbee, footgolf, rugby and swingball.

Thanks to Dawn for generously organising and providing the DJ disco entertainment. It was great to see villagers dancing, bopping in their seats and enjoying the music. Thanks DJ Ollie for entertaining us.

Thanks to Chris for taking a brilliant group photo and lots of other photos of family/friend groups. I'll email them over to people and please let me know if we can pop them on the blog and Facebook page.

A big thanks to the committee team - Margaret, Val, Dawn, Jan and Fiona for organising such a great event and all your hard work behind the scenes.

A massive thanks to all the volunteers who helped to put up the marquees, helped clear away, helped to decorate the marquee and the tables, loaned tables/chairs and generally helped with the smooth running of the day.

Thanks must also go Waterland Event Hire for the hire of the toilets.

Thanks to all the villagers, friends and family who attended the event for making the day so special, everyone really got into the spirit of it as always and the red, white and blue theme always looks impressive.

If anyone has any photos of the day then I would love to print them off to keep adding to our village photograph collection. 

You can email ridsdalesara@gmail.com or what's app me with any photos. I've already got some come through to me.

Thanks again everyone.

We are looking forward to the next village event already.

Best wishes

Sara and the Coronation Committee
