The Big Lunch & Have A Field day

Picnic time on the Recreation Field

Sunday, June 2nd  on Great Gidding Recreation Field and if even just the weather repeats itself as last year then it will be a grand day out.

The Big Lunch is all about community coming together to share a meal which in our case is more of a picnic but the aims are still the same. Meeting neighbour’s and villagers who you don’t often see, catching up with all the latest news or just taking up the challenge of the mass rounders game.

Have a Field Day is the formal recognition that our Recreation Field is now in trust and will never be built on

Details of the Big Lunch nationally can be found with this link

Date – Sunday 2nd June

Time –  12:00 until 4:00pm

Summer Picnic coming sooner than summer itself !

The annual Jubilee Wood Summer Picnic

 

This will be the 9th annual Summer Picnic. Although the wood was  suggested in 2002 planting took place the following spring and the first picnic was held in June of 2003.  It has often been cold , wet and miserable but only once have the conditions been so unfavourable to not even venture to the wood.

This year the European Monsoon as its known is again spoiling early summer but we will press on and hold this much loved event.

Sunday 24th June any time after 4pm.

The picnic will be enhanced this year by a few extra goodies on offer.

A folder has been created to list and inform visitors about some of the trees and wild flowers that you can expect to see.

Activity packs for youngsters with a woodland theme.

Weather permitting we will be studying moths either trapped previously or seen live with a moth expert.

Competitions for young and old, prizes to be won!
