Adderley Jubilee Fun Day 2022

Simple Thanks are not enough. Thank you, of course, all who turned out to have a lovely afternoon and enjoy food, drink and entertainment. There has to be a huge thank you to all who worked behind the scenes organising the money, sourcing and making the food and bringing in food to share. There were many but of note we had: Wendy, Margaret and Sue at the bowling club, Val and Lesley on teas and cakes and Bill on the bar. Then there was the setting up and organising: Phil and Carol Gadd and Ben Wrathall who were there from early in the morning. Not to forget the herculean efforts of Iain Wilson and James Parsons who oversaw the setting up of the Crazy Bowls and the unforgettable “It’s a Knockout”

We enjoyed a dog show, music from Dickie and singing from Micwire. It was a great day all round. So enjoy the images from the day below and once again thank you to all. There are more images to be found from the whole weekend on Adderley Galleries

A Right Royal Breakfast

We have to say a BIG thank you to everybody who supported the Big Breakfast on Friday morning. Judging by people’s comments it was a big success and a great time was had by all. Good food, and a chance to meet and greet over a full English, tea, toast and marmalade. What’s not to like. We served 106 full English Breakfasts which was pretty good for a first time.

Of course it wouldn’t have happened without the amazing volunteers who were there from 7:00 am to prep the room and cook the amazing breakfasts. Fabulous team work from everybody and a huge thank you.

We must also thank our sponsors without whom this event would not have been possible so many thanks to Morrisons and Asda  in Market Drayton and Shepley’s Family Butchers in Market Drayton who provided the excellent bacon, sausage and Black Pudding which everybody enjoyed. A big thank you as well to Andy and Ann Davis who provided the lovely free range eggs to complete a perfect breakfast.

Its a Knockout anyone?

Sadly its so long since it was on TV that many of you will be too young to remember it but it was definitely something that is worth reviving and guess what?   We are!

Yes, at the Party on the Green, you will have a unique opportunity to either be a contestant, or to watch others competing.  We guarantee that whether you are a participant or a spectator you will find it very funny so be sure to pop along and join the fun either literally or from the sidelines.  It usually involves water, is messy, and often slightly humiliating, but its all in a good cause and we cheer on the really good sports who take part.  

Look forward to seeing you there on Saturday! 

 

Dog Show at the Party on the Green

If you have a dog then its time to get him or her bathed, primped and generally glamorous ready for the Dog Show at the Party on the Green on Saturday.  There will be a range of classes for you and your dog to take part in for a small fee of £2 per class

All the categories are listed on the image below, but there is something for everyone we think. 

 

What is your favourite cake or pud?

It would be lovely if you would consider sharing it with us all at the Jubilee Party on the Green on Saturday 4th June on the Bring and Share Table.  Bring it along, with a copy of the recipe and we will let people sample the cakes and puds and take a copy of your recipe if they would like to try and make your cake or pud again at home.  

Jubilee celebrations are all about cake aren’t they, so with your help the Bring and Share table, along with a nice cup of tea, could be the star of the show.  DON’T EAT BEFORE YOU COME THOUGH you are going to need plenty of space for the tastings!  

So, you think you can ride a bike then?

Well, we have a challenge for you at the Jubilee Party on the Green.  This bike in the pics may look harmless, but it has a definite quirk or two that make riding it a real “ride in the park” (sorry!)

We thought we would show you that it can be done, so just watch Jake’s demo below, but the question is………………………………………………………..  how good are you?   Can you do this, or will the bike beat you?  Our money is on the bike, but come and prove us wrong at the Party on the Green in Adderley on Saturday 4th June at 4,00pm. 

 

Its all Happening in Adderley for Jubilee Weekend!

Goodness Me!   So much to remember but so much fun to be had!

Don’t forget the Jubilee Quiz on Thursday night 2nd June in the village hall – bar will be open, but we would take it carefully,  if you want a chance of winning – you will need your wits about you!  

Then out of bed and up with the lark to sample a Full English Breakfast between 9.00 and 12.00 on Friday 3rd June.  Can’t wait to see you there, families, friends and neighbours,  for your most important meal of the day cooked by someone else!

As if that wasn’t enough at 4.00pm on Saturday 4th June, the Party on the Green.  There will be a barbecue and Crazy Bowls for all  at the Bowling Club, a bouncy castle, a Dog Show, some music and fun for the children, an Its a Knockout competition, an un-rideable bike to challenge those brave enough and ………………. in true Jubilee style we are asking you to bring along your favourite cake or pud to share.  We thought it would be wonderful to ask everyone to bring theirs along with the recipe so that if people enjoy yours, they can copy  the recipe and try and recreate it at home.  So get the oven going, and treat us all to your masterpiece.  We can’t wait!  

Keep an eye open, we will post more details over the next day or so,
