NEXT PLANNING MEETING WILL BE OUT ON THE GREEN SPACE
THIS THURSDAY 23RD JUNE FROM 6PM.
ALL WELCOME.
Hi Elmfielders, just a few weeks to go now until the annual event. Here’s some stuff you might like to know about the plans so far:
Road Closure
The road is closed to through traffic from 12 noon to midnight on July 16th 2022. There will be ‘road closed’ barriers at either end of the road. Please move any vehicles away from the middle part of the road where the event is held to allow us all to enjoy the central space.
Party setup and take-down.
Construction begins on Friday with Gazebos going up; Bunting and decoration being set-up on Saturday morning. Take-down and tidy-up will be Sunday. Come out and help if you can.
Bar
There will be a licensed bar from 2pm–11pm, with both card and cash payments taken. The bar will be staffed via a rota system – let us know in advance if you can do a shift on the rota (see other side)
Food
Please bring out food to share if you can but don’t worry if you can’t. Best to stagger what you bring out over the day if the weather is hot. Compostable plates and dishes will be provided.
