Hambledon Jubilee Activities Raise £8,747

dogshow

The Hambledon Fete and other events held on the Diamond Jubilee weekend in June, raised a remarkable £8,747.08 for villages causes.

The Parish Council has sent congratulations to the many people who helped organise and run activities for making them such a success. To raise such a large sum in a small village of just 750 people is a great achievement.

The fete itself raised £5,167.08, and this has been evenly split between Hambledon Football Club, Hambledon Cricket Club, St Peter’s Church and the village Almshouses.

The Jubilee Ball, run by Sue Blackman, raised £3,580 after expenses, and from this £1,000 was donated to the Hambledon Community Fund and the remainder split between the above organisations.

The Parish Council, which provided £1,000 towards the cost of the marquee and other expenses, has acknowledged the success of the events and has sent its thanks on behalf of the village to all those who organised, promoted, helped run and took part in the weekend of activities.

Jubilee Party and Beacon

ImageFinal arrangements have been made for the Hambledon Jubilee Party to be held on Monday June 4th on the Cricket Green.

The party is hosted by Hambledon Parish Council and it starts at 8pm. There will be a hog roast, strawberries and cream and a full bar. All who live or work in Hambledon are welcome.

It is a family affair so please come along. There will be background music and entertainment will be provided by magician Richard Kettle. If it is a fine evening the party will be on the green but if it is wet the marquee, erected for the village fete and evening dinner and dance two days earlier,  will be available.

At 10.15 Karin Sehmer, High Sheriff of Surrey, will light the Jubilee Beacon, one of many official beacons across the country to be lit as part of the celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The beacon will not be on the green but at a high point in the village and should be visible to those attending the party.

You will need a ticket to attend and they are available from the Village Shop and the Merry Harriers. Tickets are free but required so that helpers have an idea of numbers.
