Bourne End's Jubilee Celebration

Bourne End's Jubilee Celebrations held on Monday 4th June at The Anchor

With a slight chill in the air and occasional attempts at rain, we were kept warm with the marquee, plenty of succulent pork, hot tea and stronger refreshment

Expert carving from Ian and Kevin.  Elegant serving from Julie and Sally

Maggie starred at the tombola,but despite vociferous claims, there is no hard evidence that she sold more raffle ticket than others.

Other raffle ticket sellers did a fine job.  A considerable sum of money was raised for charity

Some tried to get to grips with modern technology, while others looked, .... well tried to look stern!

Others didn't know quite what to make of it all!

Even the sun came out for a while!

West Country Ales and local brew cider.

Kevin considers a pony ride, but is beaten to the saddle!

Hannah, this could well be the start of a new hobby!

Martin on the bookstall offering inflation busting deals at three to the pound

Maureen looking very serious while Carole is thoroughly enjoying herself.

A confession from the organisers ... we forgot the competition for the most 'jubilee' dressed ... this definitely looks a winner!
