To mark the Coronation of King Charles lll and Queen Camilla, there will be a free family fun day on Sunday 7 May on the Old School Field from 12 noon to 4.00pm. There’s a choice of catering: a ‘posh picnic’ by Chalet Girl (ring 07889 402889 to book at £20 a head), or enjoy a hog roast by Hepy, or bring your own picnic. There’s a bar or bring your own drinks. Free entertainment is by local band, The Unthinkables, with circus skills for children. There’s a raffle in aid of Misterton Parish Council’s local environmental projects and a tombola (in aid of Cancer Research).
There’s a competition for children to design – and wear – a crown with a prize for the best presented by outgoing Chair of the Parish Council, Tony Wing. And while there, visit the community garden at the west end of the school field—a place for peace and reflection, created by supporters of Help Me, I’m Fine. The event is organised by Misterton parish Council’s Events Working Group.
● Join the Parish Council’s ‘Clean for the Coronation’ on Saturday 29 April. Meet at The Misterton Centre at 10.00am: gloves and waste bags are all provided. The litter-pick is followed by refreshments for volunteers at the Red Hart. So, if you believe there are any areas that really need a little TLC, please contact the Clerk to the Council with details at theclerk@misterton-notts-pc.gov.uk or leave a message on 01427 890780. If you can’t make that date, spend a little time tidying up the front of your house: weeding, litter-picking, etc.
