Platinum Jubilee
Welton le Marsh (Nr Spilsby) Lincolnshire – Jubilee Celebratioins
Street Party Sunday 5th June
Was a great day despite weather being cold but dry. Was an excellent turn out for such a small village, at the peak around sixty people attended with an estimate of 90 to 100 through out the day. The pork roast supplied by and catered for by Nick Bradley went down very well and needed a second supply of baps after the first 75 went quickly. There was a vast array of cakes/cookies & biscuits all supplied by villagers and one of our most recent settlers provided a lovely curry with rice.
In the village hall there was a tombola which raised £100 which will be split between three charities, Air Ambulance, village hall and church.
The highlight for many was the meeting of the older residents and the newer incomers being able to get together and enjoy stories and tales of years gone by. In fact many have said we should do it every year, so may be we shall have a look at holding a similar event later on in the summer of each year and keep the village community alive.
Event finished at around 17:00 and Sue & Nick at Wheel Inn PH arrange a free barbecue for 18:00 which many attended, nice the see the pub busy and alive with chatter..
