Jubilee What a weekend for Hurst Green, first there was the coffee morning at Fig Tree Cottage. A lovely sunny morn­ ing and a beautiful garden to wander in. There were delicious cakes, plant and books on sale and everything was trimmed up in red, white and blue for the jubilee. The event raised an excellent £215 for St. John’s Church.


Monday in total contrast was a sunny, day, posi­ tively tropical by the afternoon and the free street party was well- supported by villagers and those with village connections. Many peo­ ple worked together to make this event hap­ pen. Steve Whalley and the youth club helpers put in many hours to pr^are and run games and races entertaining children and specta­ tors. Stephen Hayhurst organised bowling com­ petitions for adults and children with the win­ ners receiving whisky and pop respectively. Ladies from the WI put a solid four hours in the kitchen producing hot dogs, drinks and serving cakes and Rita Holden managed to give out a whole freezer foil of ice­ cream to the children and some who are not so young. The afternoon was accompanied by Gerald Mack on his key­ board and co-ordinated by Margaret Carrington who gave a rendition of “Rule Britannia”. Peter Butterfield was MC for the event commenting on proceeding with a mixture of enthusiasm and dry wit. The event was able to be totally free due to donations from the parish council, Bayley .Arms, Mother’s Union, WI and foot­ ball club. Finally many thanks to all those who helped to make this event a success.


Fund-raising Another great example


of village organisations working together is the fund-raising undertak­ en for the (tystic Fibro­ sis Trust. St. Joseph’s School Friends group have held a sponsored swim and afternoon tea. The three-in-one coffee stop have donated their taking for the month of May and although there is money still coming in a cheque for approxi­ mately £1,200 was pre­ sented to the trust at a special school assembly.
