It’s time to put your thinking caps on and come up with a great idea for Hornton’s very own Golden Mile and Olympic Games!

So if you can think of a great idea for an event or a stall, please call Ian Donaldson on 01295 670505 or 07733 233816. There will be a meeting next month to which everyone interested in helping will be invited.

2nd February 2012 - Sparkling Time

The Diamond Jubilee may be more than four months away but Hornton’s already got big plans to celebrate it, so please put two big dates in your diaries now!

The first is Sunday, June 3. That’s the date for the Diamond Jubilee Big Lunch on the village green. Everybody will be invited to bring along a picnic lunch and the organisers – Hornton Neighbourhood Watch and the Parish Council – hope there will be lots of children taking part in the fun.

Then, on the following Saturday – June 9 – it will be time for the adults to dress up for the most glamorous event in the village since the Coronation Ball in 1953! The Hornton Diamond Jubilee Ball will be a strictly black-tie-and-evening-dress occasion, with a Champagne reception, a three-course sit-down meal with wine and an evening full of surprises!

You can get more details and reserve your ball tickets with Anne Joyner on 01295 670337 now!
