As previously stated; to mark 60 years of The Queen’s reign the Diamond Jubilee will take place in the summer of this year. The national celebrations will centre around an extended weekend in 2012 on 2, 3, 4 and 5 June.
In Carterton there will be outdoor stages at the recreation ground, we hope to include a “Carterton’s Got Talent” style competition which will be open to all ages. We will also have stalls, bouncy castles, Punch and Judy, funfair, fashion show, skittles, “balls in bucket”, bob for apples, treasure hunt, hot food, ice creams, live stock show, toffee apples, old fashioned sports day, display by Carterton Race Team, The OCC Brass Ensemble, poetry competition, classic car display etc.
Carterton Town Council will provide all school children with Jubilee wrist bands. Songsters will be giving a Jubilee Concert in St Johns Church at 7.30pm on the Saturday evening.
We have a professional sound engineer which guarantees a quality sound production and I am delighted to confirm that the very popular Rufio Summers and Gaz Brookfield will be performing live!
If you’d like to see how you might be able to get involved in the Jubilee celebrations in Carterton then please contact Cllr Mrs Lynn Little at lynn.little@tiscali.co.uk.
