Quick apology for the site being down yesterday. Slight mis-communication around who was paying the hosting bill! All sorted now though. Thanks for your understanding.

To mark Redbourn’s 900th anniversary celebrations, the judges of the CPRE who visited Redbourn on 18th June, have given the award of Village of the Year (West). The prizegiving will take place on 24th July in the morning at the War Memorial on the Common at 10:30 in the morning. It would be good to see the people who attended the judging in June, plus any others who would like to come along to see Redbourn receive its prize. Other villages from West Hertfordshire who won smaller prizes in the different categories will also send representatives to collect their awards. Redbourn won a lesser award in the People category last year. Congratulations to everyone in the village for this wonderful and timely achievement. In anticipation of the re-enactment of the Battle of Watling Street at next week’s Carnival, a contingent of the Royalists gathered outside the Crown Pharmacy (presumably from where they will get their bandages and potions post battle) to proclaim their intention to camp on the common next Saturday, 26th June between noon and 4:30pm. To see what happened, please play the video below and a full transcript of the proclamation is below. Roll on Saturday…

We are grateful to the Holiday Inn for their support of the Redbourn 900 festivities. Jack and I lived in Redbourn for many years, Jack was born next door to the Holly Bush. We decided to retire down to Devon in 2005, which we love. But we go back to Redbourn often, to visit family, and we still think it’s a great place, with the lovely common and friendly people
We shift our focus back to the Common for the final events of Redbourn 900 celebrating Redbourn’s historical heritage including cricket, hats, buzzers and tea! Reputedly one of the earliest cricket clubs in the country, some of the village’s 150 cricketing children will participate in a tournament, coached by celebrities including former England Cricket Captain, Mike Brearley. Then it’s time to get our buzzers ready as we judge the village’s singing, dancing and variety acts in our very own ‘Redbourn’s Got Talent’. Watch these events sporting your very own straw hat with teacup in hand as Redbourn recreates its very own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, celebrating Redbourn’s Brooke Bond Tea Factory heritage and harking back to when the reeds from the River Red were used for straw plaiting for the hat industry. Join us in attempting to break a Guinness World Record for dancing in hats on the Common, as a release of balloons signals the start of our tenth century.
Harking back to those bygone days, what better way to mark the half way point in the year of our Redbourn 900 celebrations than with a series of Street Parties around the village? Is your street taking part? We need volunteers from every street to gather their neighbours together. You’ll receive a help pack and there’ll be a team to advise you. Help make 10th July 2010 a day to remember and contact Pam Hansford (794802), Caroline Chandler (627222) or Steve Lillywhite (792881) for more information. Then dust off those dancing shoes and finish the day with a traditional Barn Dance with Live Band and a Barbecue at Kettlewells Farm with the Friends of St Mary’s Church. Tickets and information from Chris Little on 794262
For all those green fingered folk out there – and even those without! – this is a great opportunity to visit and admire some of Redbourn residents’ own beautiful gardens, coupled with a stunning Flower Festival at St Mary’s Church and Redbourn Artists’ Exhibition in the Cumberland House Gardens – bloomin’ marvellous! |
