Now throwing a neighbourhood party is alittle different than a party in your own back yard,
(Don't forget to download your free Diamond Jubilee Subway Art at the bottom of the page)
isn't this beautiful, wrong colours but just wanted to share it with you.

The Queen's Silver Jubilee 1977
and here's an indoor option,
just in case the good olde British summer lets us down (as if)
ROAD CLOSURE
If you are planning to close the road you will need to get permission from your local council
Councils do vary but approximately 3 - 12 weeks before.
POSTERS
Add your own details...
INVITATIONS
call on each neighbour and hand deliver 6-8 weeks in advance as this breaks the ice
also note cars will need moving from off the street politely
reminders to pop through doors
COSTUMES
not that kind of party - but scatter enough party hats and blowers for the kids at least
PARTY MUSIC PLAY LIST
you will need a music / entertainment licence for pre planned music
See here for advice
SETTING THE SCENE
Set up long rows of tables and chairs
How about a jubilee time capsule.
