The Big Chester Terrace Street Party 2018

DATE: Sunday 10th June 2018 - 2pm 

Check this post for all details of the day. It will be updated as and when things are finalised. Other blog posts will update on the progress and the day, but this one will have the final details.



This is one of the photos that inspired me to organise a street party. This photo was taken on VE Day at a street party on the north end of Chester Terrace. So lovely to see it (thank you to John Colwell for sending it to me, he is the little boy at the end!).

DETAILS
(This post will be updated when we have finalised details)

THEME: HATS! Wear any hat you want to

CARS: We will start at 2pm but will need cars moved from Lucerne Rd  down to nos Chester Terrace by midday so we can put tables out and bunting up. It's only for half a day but thank you for your co-operation!

DECORATION: We'll drag tables and chairs out from houses. We are borrowing bunting but if anyone has any that would be fab!

MUSIC: Do we have any musicians that would like to play? If not, I'll be putting together a Spotify playlist for the music system.

GAMES/FUN FOR KIDS/EVENTS:
Cake Bake Off competition - please do make a cake and bring it along!
Face painting
Chalk drawing on the street
TBC

The council has approved a licence to close the south side of Chester Terrace - we can't close the entire road as they require Lucerne Road for access, but we intend to close the north side next year if people would like to alternate.

Road Closure Agreed by Council!

YAY! We've had the road closure agreed so the street party is going ahead!! Make sure you all have it in your diaries. Mike and I have done some more door knocking on the north side of the road to introduce ourselves and tell about the street party and hand out a leaflet reminder. Do tell your neighbours when you see them as well.

Signatures from the south side

STREET PARTY UPDATE: SIGNATURES Mike and I had a successful walk around today (and I went around this evening for a few more) and I'm pleased to say that overall we had a wonderful response to the street party and met some lovely people! The form the council need filling in with 75% of the road agreeing to the road closure We needed two thirds positive response and have got 73% of the road signed up today so I have filled out the form to send to the council for the road closure which is really exciting! I also dropped in a little save the date leaflet to those who signed  (hello to four new neighbours who joined this evening after that!) Two people raised an objection to moving cars for the day. I understand that parking is such a pain but it would be so lovely for one day for the road to be clear and for children to be able to play car free. Plus, much easier for the planned north/south tug o' war  ;)  So please do move your cars by around midday. We hav

Musicians Needed!!

We could really do with some musicians for the street party. Do ask your friends and neighbours. As it's our first one we have no budget but hopefully next year we could do a collection and pay some people. But if anyone fancies playing do let me know! We can pay them in cake :)
