March 2012
Jubilee Celebrations Update
Save the date - Saturday 2nd June
at The Village Hall



The planning for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Needham is progressing well but we would be pleased to hear more ideas and contributions. from you.
So far the plans are to have a free TEA PARTY at the Village Hall on the afternoon of Saturday 2nd June followed by a cash BBQ with a licensed bar in the evening.


Obviously, we’re hoping for good weather so the Tea Party can be held outside along with entertainment, fun and games for all ages.


Art Competition
We are hoping for a good number of entries across the age range to this competition.
The four age categories are: 6 and under, 7-12, 13-18, 19 and over
Size: A4. 
Subject: Needham and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
Any medium.
The closing date for entries is 31st May.
Please submit your entry to the Editor at Mill Farm Cottage.

Auction of Promises will take place at the Red Lion on Monday 7th May.  This is to raise money for the Jubilee celebrations.
Examples of some of the lots up for auction are:
  • A load of logs - delivered
  • A meal for two at the Red Lion
  • Tickets to see ‘Betrayal’ by the Open Space Theatre Co
  • An afternoon canoeing
  • Have your car cleaned
  • An iced fruit cake
  • Eggs from White House Farm
  • A Christmas Tree voucher from White House Farm
We still need more offers. Perhaps you could offer to do some ironing, babysitting or you may have a really novel offer in mind.
Please contact: needhamlink@gmail.com with your offer.


We have taken delivery of special Needham Village Diamond Jubilee commemorative mugs.  Every child aged 16 or under who lives in Needham will receive one of these mugs free, as will any one who is celebrating a 60th birthday or a Diamond Wedding Jubilee in 2012. We need to have the names of everyone who is eligible to receive one of these limited edition mugs. The mugs will be presented either at the Tea Party or at the BBQ.  Please send names as soon as possible to needhamlink@gmail.com There will also be a limited number for sale (£5) at the Tea Party on 2nd June.
