Scenes from Jericho's summer — Part 1

Jubilee Street Party—Jericho’s summer of celebration got off to a great start with the Jubilee Street Party on June 3. Thanks to Wendy Matthews, who got things moving, and to all the organizers and children who made this a great occasion.

Wendy Matthews thanks everyone who helped with the Jubilee Party including Rob for the disco and John Hinkes for the music. Support was received from Grantham House Club, Lucy’s, Somerville College, the Synagogue, OUP, and Mr Silver at KFC who donated tableware and drinks. Special thanks to Father Michael for the purchase of Jubilee mugs for the children. A small remaining sum will be divided between the toddler group, the playgroup, and the school. Thanks also to Maggie Barrett, our ‘Queen’, for performing her duties so royally—and also to the people of Jericho for their good humour and proving that we are still a community.
