Jubilee Events

On Monday 4th June 2012, the aim is to light 2,012 (or more) beacons - the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, the Commonwealth and other countries around the world to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and West Bergholt has been chosen to be a part of this exciting event. Our Beacon is scheduled for 10:30pm at the Orpen Hall on June 4th, and the Parish Council is planning some exciting events to go with this.

It is planning events for the beacon lighting ceremony including fireworks and possible hog roast.   As part of the Jubilee celebrations a family fun day will be held on Saturday 16th June. If you represent a village group or are just really keen to get involved in planning these events, you might want to pop in to the next planning meeting at 8pm 22nd March in the John Lampon Hall, or contact John Gili-Ross on 242236.

Help us make it an event to remember!
