Jubilee Street Parties — send us<br />
your pictures for our souvenir issue!<br />
Street parties are at the top of the list of<br />
events that Buckingham Palace asks the<br />
nation to hold as we celebrate Her Majesty<br />
<strong>The</strong> Queen's unprecedented achievement<br />
of serving the United Kingdom and the<br />
Commonwealth for 70 years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> village of Sonning's street party is on<br />
Sunday 6 June from 2.30pm in Pearson<br />
Road (near Pearson Hall). <strong>The</strong> road will be<br />
closed for the street party which is being<br />
organised by the Sonning and Sonning<br />
Eye Society. <strong>The</strong> names of everyone<br />
attending the party must be registered.<br />
Tickets will be available at Pearson Hall<br />
on 23 April between 10am and 12noon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sonning street party follows the<br />
special parish celebration service in St<br />
Andrew's Church at 11am, when the 103rd<br />
Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey,<br />
will be preaching.<br />
Charvil <strong>Parish</strong> Council has told us that<br />
it will be supporting local street parties,<br />
although they could not give any details.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also told us that a treasure hunt<br />
might be being arranged, but again, no<br />
further details were available when we<br />
went to press.<br />
