MEETINGS OF THE PARISH COUNCIL/COMMITTEES.

Parish councillors in Wysall are looking for ideas from residents in the village at ways to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations next June.

In 2022, Her Majesty will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, seventy years after having acceded to the death of her father on February 6 1952 when she was just 25 years old.

An extended bank holiday, from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June, will provide an opportunity for communities and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate this historic milestone.

The parish council say they would like to encourage people to give some ideas and suggestions as to how we can celebrate this momentous occasion in our village.

The National events include Trooping of the Colour and Beacon lighting ( Thursday 2 June); a Service of Thanksgiving in St Paul’s Cathedral (Friday 3 June); Platinum Party at the Palace - The BBC will stage and broadcast a special live concert from Buckingham Palace (Saturday 4 June); The Big Jubilee Lunch (Sunday 5 June).

You can email any suggestions to the Parish Councillors direct or, say the council, you may even feel that a dedicated group should meet and decide the way forward. We are open to any suggestions.

The parish council clerk Mike Elliott wo an be contacted on 0115 9376506, says their message to the whole village: “Please support us for this historic occasion!”
