Quids in from Diamond Jubilee street party

July 27, 2012

Kind-hearted people from Crowthorne handed over £300 to a local charity after holding a hugely successful Diamond Jubilee street party.

The event was held in Upper Broadmoor Road and families from there, Brookers Corner and Bracknell Road, had a great day in the sunshine on Sunday, July 15.

Organiser Lydia Tye was joined by other people involved with the celebration at Woodmancote Centre in Pinewood Avenue on Tuesday to present the cheque to the COATS charity.

The charity runs the centre for older people in Crowthorne and the money raised will be a welcome boost to its coffers.

Lydia said: “The money was raised from entry tickets, a name-the-bear competition and generous donations from residents of Upper Broadmoor Road.

“Our residents range from young babies and toddlers to the elderly and we all felt that we would like to give something back to the community.

“A huge thank you to everyone for making it such a memorable day.”

We were not joined by Crowthorne Road - WE invited residents from Brookers Corner and BRACKNELL ROAD to join in our Diamond Jubilee Street Party. Lydia said: The money was raised from entry tickets, a name the bear competition and some very generous donations from past and present residents.

AND: Lydia would like an apology written into the report as promised by Hugh Fort for the incorrect report that went out on the Wednesday the 18th July and Thursday 19th July papers and said we were being run by some events. Please give this report above once corrected the same FRONT PAGE COVERAGE across all the papers you gave to the incorrect report on the 18th and 19th July. Your co-operation is much appreciated. Thank you.

Lydia says "the residents of Brookers Corner and BRACKNELL ROAD were invited to join us" not Crowthorne Rd. "The money was raised from entry tickets, a name-the-bear competition and VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM PAST AND PRESENT RESIDENTS" "All excess funds went to the Woodmancote Centre, NO money went to some event" Can this article please go out with a written apology as promised by Hugh Fort for the incorrect article which was printed on 18th and 19th July local papers - Can this article when corrected with my comments above please be given the same FRONT PAGE COVERAGE as the 18th/19th July article GOT. Thank You.
