Although the Queen's actual 90th birthday was on 21st April, an occasion marked in South Glos by a service in Thornbury, her official birthday is in June. There are a number of events happening locally to celebrate this.
Beesmoor Road Playing Fields will be hosting a "Big Lunch" with a 90 year old guest of honour from 11.30am to 3.30pm on Sunday 12 June. There will be a children's fancy dress with the theme of royalty. Light refreshments will be on sale, bring your own picnic and a rug or seat. The Management Committee will be raising funds for the redevelopment of the children's play area and general maintenance of the playing fields through the sale of teas, coffees, cakes and a BBQ.
If you are involved in a voluntary organisation who would like a stall to raise funds, would like to put on a display in the area, could help with planning or on the day, make suggestions or would like further info, please contact Sue Walters.
Also on Sunday 12th June there will be a celebration in Westerleigh village. The Olde Inne car park will be filled with benches so everyone can bring their own picnic and the Neighbourhood Watch will be running a boules competition on the grass area. St James Church will be open with a cake stall and exhibition.
In Iron Acton there will be a Parish Picnic and Party in the Parish Hall and gardens on Saturday 11th June. The family BYO picnic with traditional children's games runs from 2pm to 5pm and is free of charge. From 7.30pm to 11pm there will be a party with bar, hot supper and music, tickets £10 per person.
The annual Chipping Sodbury Big Lunch, due to take place on Sunday 5th June, will this year have a royal theme. You can find out more on their Facebook page.
