Dear All

Thank you to those who have already received emails and responded concerning the date of this meeting.

This email is to all who have expressed an interest in being involved in Thriplow's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, and to those who have not yet heard from us. Derek and Sue Pinner have been very active in gathering support for the celebrations, having not only organised a public meeting but also having spread the word among others who were unable to attend the meeting; their volunteer duty in the shop on Sunday proved especially fruitful!

At the public meeting we were shown a DVD of Thriplow's 1977 Silver Jubilee celebrations that included a street procession, a profusion of flags and bunting, 'Its a Knockout', Tug of War, and other games, plus a meal for 400 in what is now the Revivals barn. A hard act to follow. A few copies of the DVD are available from Derek for those seeking inspiration.

Please could all those that can make it come along to the Green Man on Thursday 2 February at 8pm, for a gathering to kick off some good ideas, and identify some individual talents that can be put to good use. We also need those with a talent for organising to come forward and bring some order to the proceedings!

If you know of anyone else that might be interested do please bring them along.

If you can't attend but wish to make a suggestion or offer some help or expertise, please let me know and I will pass it on. Phone number – 01763 208303, or by email at martin.arthur7@PROTECTED.

With Best Wishes

Martin Arthur
