QUEEN`S PLATINUM JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS on Friday 3 June. This event has now completely sold out, so apologies for any disappointment this causes.

Can we remind anyone attending to please bring along your own drinks and glasses, garden chairs/blankets and a picnic table if you wish to sit at a table.

There will be a painting competition for the children with three age groups – nursery aged children, primary school aged children and high school children. A prize will be awarded to the winner of each age group and the paintings are to be of the Queen, a Palace or a Castle. All entries should be left at Redlands, Old Post Office Lane by no later than Tuesday 31 May. We would also ask that residents decorate their houses or gardens or perhaps even make a scarecrow to sit/stand in your garden. All decorations to be Platinum Jubilee related.

Preparations The Memorial Hall and Sutton Parish Council would be grateful for help to erect 3 marquees for the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. If you are able to assist we will be meeting at 4pm on Wednesday the 1^st June at the recreation Ground.

Sutton Speedwatch As many of you are already aware Sutton has a team of 6 Speedwatch volunteers, myself included. As often as we can we carry out traffic monitoring sessions using an approved speed detection device. Vehicles detected travelling over a certain threshold are reported to Suffolk Constabulary and appropriate action is taken by them. In this way,  as members of the community we are able to make a positive contribution to road safety in our village, as well as helping to improve the general peace and tranquility that living in a village should entail. We are currently looking to recruit new volunteers to assist us in carrying out this important work. You only need to be able to commit 1 to 2 hours a month. Full training will be provided. 

If this might be of interest to you please feel free to contact  me. My email is alanmac55@hotmail.com

Bottle Banks in the last few days the bottle banks have been filled to overflowing way past their capacity with bottles and jars being left on the concrete apron. Can we respectfully ask that if you bring lots of bottles and fill the banks to the full capacity that you kindly phone Norse directly on 01394 444000 and arrange an emptying or phone one of the Parish Councillors and ask them to organise an emptying, thus avoiding the build up of bottles and glass on the apron.

The recycling banks are situated adjacent to the Picnic and Play area and we ask that you do not leave bags, boxes of bottles jars on the concrete apron as broken glass/spillage could cause a problem. Thank you.
