The Houses of Parliament have asked our Parish Council to organise an event at 3pm on Sunday 14th June to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta and the Montfort Parliament. This event is to hear the church bells being rung and to drink a cup of tea at this time,and to reflect on what difference the Magna Carta has made to our lives.
Our event is known as LiberTea at the Top.In other words we invite the people of Hambledon to join us at the top of the Common at the viewpoint and drink a cup of tea with us and hopefully cake will also be provided.
I would also be grateful for knowledgeable persons to come and explain what the Magna Carta was all about.
If the weather is poor we shall hold the event in the Village Hall.
Remember,Sunday June 14th at the top of the Common at 3pm.
