Council Reports Myland Jubilee Picnic in the Park To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, I was asked to organise the ‘Myland Jubilee Picnic in the Park’, which was held on Saturday 4th June. Myland Community Council agreed to fund the cost of the bouncy castle hire and 250 Jubilee cupcakes. We wanted to bring the community together without residents having to spend lots of money, so we encouraged people to bring their own food if they wished. Many people brought their own picnics along, although there were food stalls, a beer tent and tea/coffee and cake stalls. There were the traditional games such as the coconut shy, splat the rat and Hoopla with prizes for everyone. Hospital Radio did a splendid job by all accounts with their choice of music for the day, culminating in the crowd all singing along to “Sweet Caroline”. I would like to thank all the Councillors who volunteered their time on the day from setting up the event, giving out Union Jacks, putting up hundreds of metres of bunting, litter picking and keeping the crowds happy! 12
