Another right Royal Knees Up ! – Monday June 4th 2012

After the success of the The Royal Wedding Street Party on April 29, 2011, we decide to organise another Street Party – this time to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. We obtained permission from RBWM Council to close The Fifield Road by The Fifield Inn from 11:30 am to 6:30 pm. Set up was from Noon but people arrived as early as 9:30 am to reserve their spots. We kicked off at 2:00 pm and the Community Association provided 6 BBQs for people to cook their own food. We estimate that over 300 people came along ! As last year, after the road was re-opened, we continued the Party in the Fifield Inn Car Park !

We had a “Young Royals” Fancy Dress Competition for Girls and Boys under 8 years old and “Best Royal Hat” Competitions for 8 to 18 year olds and Adults. There were lots of great costumes and hats. The “Best Royal Adult Hat” competition was won by David Embery for which he won a chilled Bottle of Prosecco. See the 220 + pictures in the Photo Gallery

We also organised a Family Quiz of 15 Questions based on Local and Royal knowledge. The Winner was Vera Heath (aged 89!) with a fantastic score of 13 out of 15 points. The Prize was also a chilled Bottle of Prosecco.

A lot of people helped make the occasion a great success. Special thanks go to Mark Howard (brother of Robin) for his Music and PA System, Rod Lord for the photos and to Helen and Gary of the Fifield Inn for allowing us to close the road and use their car park.

Given the success, we are already thinking about an excuse to hold another Street Party in the future !
