Remember these? A Rare Visitor to Talaton on May 3rd 2012

IMPORTANT NOTE Village Development Your Parish Council is preparing a Community Consultation questionnaire to allow each member of the entire Parish to express their views on the potential development on land beside Lees Meadow. Further, the Parish Council is seeking clarification from the local planning officers on the correct process to initiate a Neighbourhood plan. With this information the Council will lead the process in an appropriate manner to achieve a Plan designed to protect and enhance our Parish.

Talaton Jubilee Celebrations

What a magnificent response we have had – quite overwhelming in fact. Although we continued to accept late RSVPs for several days after the deadline, by the 31^st March we had to draw the line and say no to any further replies in the interest of public safety. We have 370 people attending the Big Lunch Street Party and just over 300 at the Barn Dance – amazing numbers!

THE BIG LUNCH STREET PARTY

 ATTENDANCE IS BY TICKET ONLY

• Residents who applied for them will have their free tickets delivered in May
• Pre-ordered tickets for non-residents can be collected from The Village Shop upon a non-refundable payment of £2 each
• Failure to collect these tickets by Sunday 27^th May will mean they are forfeited and the allocated places offered to residents on the waiting list
• The Street Party is a sit down lunch of cold finger food with meat and vegetarian options
• Gluten and wheat free choices are also available
• Water and squash will be on the table and the pub will be open all day for take-away drinks
• Tea & Coffee will be available in the hall after lunch

All you have to do is come along and enjoy yourself preferably in Fancy Dress on a Royal theme or 1950s

COMMUNITY ART PROJECT

The idea is to create a permanent work of art that will be displayed in the Parish Hall to commemorate the people of Talaton during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year

• Ceramic tiles of various sizes can be bought by an individual, family, group or organisation
• You then decorate your tile using special paint or crayons
• We shall be running workshops to give guidance on how to use the paint and moral support for those of us less artistically endowed!
• Everyone’s tiles will be fired and put together as a collage which will be framed and hung in the Hall

Look out for us on Village Day & the Church BBQ to find out more about this exciting project
