DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations will take place throughout the country on the extended weekend of June 2 - 5 and plans are afoot in Binham and Cockthorpe to mark 60 years of the Queen's reign with some local celebrations.
An open meeting to discuss possible events has been called for Thursday, February 9th, at 7.30pm in Binham Memorial Hall. Everyone is invited and encouraged to come along to help plan a fitting local contribution, giving these villages the opportunity to observe and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment in national life.
Suggestions include a Service of Thanksgiving in the Priory on Sunday, June 3, at llam, and a cricket match on the playing field on Monday, June 4, starting at 2pm with a break for a Celebration Jubilee Tea in the Hall.
Please come along with your ideas. Offers of practical help with the work involved in organising the celebrations will be doubly welcome.
