Anniversary Dance – 60 years on!
Are you celebrating your 50th or 60th
Wedding Anniversary this year or do you know a local couple who
is?
If so, you are invited to a special Tea Dance
as part of the celebrations being hosted by Wyre Forest District
Council and the Kidderminster Shuttle to celebrate the
Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The Tea Dance will be held at
Kidderminster Town Hall on Thursday 31st May 2012 from 1.30 pm
to 4.30 pm. The event will be free. To get a ticket, we
are inviting couples (or families of couples) celebrating either
their 50th or 60th Wedding Anniversaries to write to the Shuttle,
telling your story and offering any tips to a long and
happy marriage!
We would also like to hear from any couple who
got married in 1957 as this was the only time that the Queen
visited Wyre Forest.
Councillor Tracey Onslow, Wyre Forest District
Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing said “This is sure
to be a really special occasion and we want to make it as memorable
as possible for the celebrating couples.
"As the event is free and for local couples
only, we would also like to hear from any kind local people or
businesses who can donate special items such as small round tables,
red, white, or blue tablecloths, red, white and blue balloons, cake
stands, button holes or corsages and, of course, sandwiches to fill
up those cake stands!
“So far we are very grateful to the team at
Kidderminster Town Hall who have given us the room for free and
donated tea and coffee for the event. In addition, all the cakes
have very been kindly donated by local Bakers, Gainsborough Studio
Bakery of Coventry Street Kidderminster. Local poet Heather Wastie
will be doing a short reading at the Tea Dance and she has also
donated her time for free.”
To obtain your ticket, write to Shuttle editor
Clive Joyce at 6 Tower Buildings, Blackwell Street, Kidderminster
DY10 2DY. Closing date for applications is Friday
30th March 2012.
