The
Jubilee Party is being held on Bank Holiday Monday 4 June starting at 5

years and younger), competitions, films, bar, buffet, dancing and a
chance to be photographed with the Queen !!. The party is ticket

a Crown” competition for children up to 12 years old with a prize for
the best Jubilee themed design. Children will be asked to wear their
crown and we hope that one of the Parish's most senior residents will be
available to select the winner.
- The
“Cake Bake” competition is really a cake decoration competition. You
can bake your own cake but the prizes will be given to the cakes with
the best Jubilee themed decorations. There will be two categories, one
for children up to 16 years old, and the other for adults. Sally
Ransome-Williams has kindly volunteered to judge this competition. We
also hope to use some or all of the cakes to enhance the dessert table
of the cold buffet.

“Jubilee Quiz” will be for teams of up to 8 people. Questions will be
distributed prior to the opening of the cold buffet and judged
afterwards.
Transport
will be provided for any senior parish residents with mobility problems.
If you want to make use of this service please let Wendy Hill (634333)
know in good time so that we can do the necessary planning.
And finally, as it’s a Jubilee Party, why not try to wear something red, white and blue. - Christ Church: 2012 is the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen and also of Christ Church Wellington Heath
Christ Church was re-built following the fire in 1944 and opened in April 1952, a couple of months after the accession of Queen Elizabeth. The ‘Friends ‘ of Christ Church invite you to celebrate both these occasions either by: - Joining us at a special service of Thanksgiving on
Sunday 3rd June at 9.30am, preceded by ringing of the church bell. All are welcome!
- And / or ‘stitching a cushion’ in memory of someone or just as part of the celebrations. We estimate the cost of each cushion to be around £40 and we are asking for both ‘stitchers’ and donations towards the costs.If you are interested in taking part and want more information please contact Marilyn or Kathy. This is an ongoing project and cushions can be added as completed. There will be a display and further information in the church from Monday 16th April, please pop in at any time.
If you are a novice and would like a go, support will be available from Kathy Darwood (634020) and Marilyn Gilmore (633140)
