Summer Fete

Saturday 20th June 11.30am - 1.30pm in Kingsdon Village Hall

It was a typical Sunday morning in May, the sun was shining, trees and shrubs in blossom and the birds a-singing. The village of Kingsdon was at peace with the world; except that is, with the Council. This day was chosen to top dress the roads. To make matters worse, they were late starting due to the driver of the above vehicle oversleeping. When it came time for church, Top Street was still to be done, church goers had the audacity to park on the road outside of their church, the workers were not happy; they were so slow in fact doing the job, that signs put out directing visitors to our new cricket ground were overruled by road closed barricades. I am told they chose Sunday to do the work as that is the day it would cause the least inconvenience!!!!! (Wally)

Kingsdon to Celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

It has been decided to hold Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Kingsdon in 2012 similar to those held here in 2002 for the Golden Jubilee.
South West Marquees Ltd have agreed a quote, the cheapest I have obtained, for marquee hire and a deposit has been paid which ensures us this year’s prices in 2012. Plans are now beginning to raise the £2,700 required to put on the event on dates to be notified. An application for a lottery grant will be made similar to that granted in 2002.
A public meeting will be called in due course to formulate plans etc. for those who wish to be involved. (Wally)
