THE winner of a new contest will be treated like royalty during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Woodley Town Council is offering the chance for people to have lunch with Woodley’s town mayor and other dignitaries as part of its Big Jubilee Lunch event in the town centre.
Taking place on Sunday, June 5, between noon and 4pm, the event will include street entertainment, activities, a petting zoo and free ice cream, among other treats.
And the jewel in the crown will be the street party with a top table experience.
To be in with a chance of winning, children aged 12 and under are asked to decorate stones with a jubilee theme. This could be crowns, flags, castles, queens and even coins. Each stone should be bright and beautiful, and entries will form part of the town council’s commemorative jubilee memorial in Woodford Park.
Schools have been sent stones and entry forms, but the contest is open to any child under 12 who lives in Woodley or attends a Woodley school.
There are three categories: five and under, six to eight and nine to 12.
All entries need to be submitted in a clear bag, which will be recycled, by Friday, May 20, with the winning entries announced shortly after.
