GOTHAM DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
MONDAY 4TH JUNE 2012
Lets have a party!
When was the last time you got together with your family, neighbours and friends ; enjoyed some food and a drink or two and simply had some fun?
Well the opportunity for us to "Picnic & Party on the Park" is just around the corner: MONDAY 4TH JUNE 2012.
This Family Fun day will embrace young and old and those in between and aims to bring our wonderful community together to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.
Proceedings will begin at 11am (Monday 4th June 2012) with a Service of Celebration at St Lawrence Church followed by a parade beginning at 12pm from Hill Road.
If you are part of a local group and wish to be involved in the parade contact Laura Austin. (Mobile 07788841867 or Email

On the "Rec" rain or shine we will "Picnic on the Park" – from tables and candelabras to sitting on your coat with a bag of chips – it really doesn't matter, what is important is that we "Meet and Eat" and have some fun.
After our picnics and a couple of your favourites from either the memorial hall bar or the cricket club bar, or even a cup of tea and a cake from the coffee shop and after the children from Gotham Primary have treated us to some maypole and country dancing (where I hear adult participation is a must!) it will be time for the Pram Race!
The response for the Pram Race from the original "Notification of Interest" was excellent and therefore this event is set to be a real crowd pleaser.
To register your team and to obtain a copy of the rules and route please contact Laura Austin. (Mobile 07788841867 Email

The villagers of Gotham will then be treated to some amazing local live bands including the one and only Kinky Vicar!
Also throughout the day there will be the opportunity to try your hand at various sports from curling to line dancing and bowling to netball plus displays from several of our local groups and organisations.
The finale for the day will be the lighting of the Beacon! An event which will be ocurring simultamelously by thousands of other party goers up and down the country.
This is your celebration and it's down to you to make the most of this opportunity and get involved. It is time to rekindle the fantastic community spirit this village has and have some good old family fun!
See you on Monday 4th June 2012!
