JUBILEE FILM SHOW
 On Saturday 1st June, the
village hall became the Westbury Odeon, as a full house assembled
for a 1950s film show. Before the programme started, they could
watch a slide show of sport and showbiz celebrities of 1952 to
music from the period.
The show got under way with a Tom
and Jerry cartoon, followed by newsreels which included news of
the death of the King and accession of Elizabeth II, the four
minute mile and the ascent of Everest. The main feature was 'A
Queen is Crowned', the only full length colour film of the
coronation, and winner of an Oscar in 1953. At the interval,
usherettes with torches and trays served ice creams and soft
drinks.
A number of people suggested that
more film shows should be arranged, and anyone interested in
setting up a village film society should contact the chairman. |

FANCY
DRESS PARADE
    
|
|
 Uncertain weather at the start of the
day failed to put off the 29 high
quality fancy dress entrants, who presented guests of honour Christine and
Walter Ellen with the difficult task of selecting selecting the winners.
The children were entertained by a mystery clown, rumoured to be a
member of the Westbury Footlights.
After the traditional parade through the village, to the music of the
Bendix Kingswood Band, the prize winners were announced, and all
entrants received consolation prizes.
 After the roll call of members at the Westbury Inn, the band struck
up again, and the parade marched to St Lawrence Church for the Club Day
service led by Fr Ewan Macpherson.

JUBILEE CLUB DAY LUNCH
 About a hundred diners enjoyed an excellent lunch,
prepared and served by our new caterers Mendip Buffets (tel: 01934
732269). They were also
entertained after lunch by Christine Ellen, our guest of honour, whose
speech on the subject of 'The Queen and I' was extremely well received.
A full text of her speech can be downloaded by clicking here.
SPORTS & SIDESHOWS (pictures to be
posted later)
By the afternoon, the weather had
brightened up, and a good crowd made their way to the village
playing fields to enjoy a wide range of attractions, including skittles,
hoop la, coconut shy, tombola, zippy dipper, bouncy castle, inflatable
obstacle course, tea tent and a licensed bar. After 4.00 p.m. there were
free teas for children. The Brian
Cattell Cup was won by Rose Penforth, and the Tug-o-war trophy by the
Hollowmen, who narrowly defeated the chairman's team.
