Platinum celebrations in Old Buckenham

A busy four days

This information has been taken from the village Facebook page and published here for those who look at the village blog but are not on Facebook. It is intended to include the latest information on these events in the April village newsletter.

After the successful Village Meeting in mid-March, a rough plan of events in the village to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee has begun to take shape. As events are organised, more concrete information will be available from the Parish Council.

Thursday 2 June
* Time for families to decorate their homes and the village for the celebrations
* Lighting of a Jubilee Beacon at the Airfield
Friday 3 June
* Village Walk
* Land Rovers at the Ox and Plough
Saturday 4 June
* Picnic at the Country Park
* Live music at the Ox and Plough
Sunday 5 June
* Joint Church Service
* The Big Lunch Street Party
All weekend
* Exhibition in the Village Hall about the history of Queen and her reign
* Treasure Hunt
* Activities for children such as Crown making
The is also a plan to plant seven trees towards the Queen's Green Canopy, one for each decade of service. The planting of the trees will take place in the Autumn, when the weather is more suitable. However there will be the opportunity to design plaques for each tree during the Jubilee Weekend.
There are a few volunteers who have kindly offered to help with the organising specific activities but more are needed! If you are willing to be part of a team to organise a part of the celebrations, then please contact Rachel Noyes, the Parish Clerk, at oldbuckenhampc@live.co.uk.
