How is Groby planning to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years as Monarch?

IT WOULD be a great opportunity to come together as a community to commemorate this historic event. What could it be?

Listed below are just a few ideas. We are a really vibrant community with such a lot going on, and I’m sure residents will have lots of ideas too.

• a village fayre • an exhibition of arts and crafts, • contributions from local musicians, • sports including children’s activities, • picnic, • 50’s style dress competition, • a 50’s disco, • children taking part from the schools, • churches and clubs (cubs, scouts, brownies etc), • a Groby churches together presence, • hog roast and evening dance, • BMX tournament or exhibition, • Groby Crufts for all our proud dog owners. How should Groby celebrate the Queen’s 70th year on the throne?

Whilst not being responsible for organising, Groby Parish Council would like to know if the residents would welcome the idea and would be willing to form an organising committee themselves, with the Parish Council acting as facilitator.

If you are interested, please contact the Parish Clerk on 0116 2876985 or parishclerk@groby.com

The Nativity in your window

THIS CHRISTMAS, why not think about putting a Nativity scene in your front window, to remind passersby of the real reason for Christmas?

And next Easter, you could put up a Christian poster or a Christian cross in your front window.
