Families can go along to one of Slough town’s libraries and try the woodland animal trail, measure up against tigers or elephants or try a quiz to find out which animal you are most like.

As well as lots of puzzling Slough fun there will be mystery boxes to explore and plenty of animal tales to borrow, so why not join in the fun and share an animal book at bedtime to round off the day?

The Slough council are planning an event to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on 4 June this year and are looking to invite people to whom 1952 is a special year.

The event will be held in Upton Court Park, Slough in the evening of 4 June 2012 and will culminate in the lighting of a beacon bonfire as part of the national celebrations.

Councillor Rob Anderson, leader of the Slough council, said: “We will be celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and taking part in the national celebrations but we want to share the moment with local residents who also find this 60 year period is special for them.

“Whether you were born on the day of accession (4 June 1952) or married in 1952 or belong to a charity or business that has been in Slough for more than 60 years, we want to hear from you so we can invite you to our celebrations.”

The event will be invitation only and numbers are limited.

The Slough council wants to hear from:

People born on 4 June 1952
Couples married in 1952 or the coronation year, 1953
Business who were in Slough in 1952 and still are today
Charities or community groups who were working with local people in 1952 and still are today
Schools or organisations which were opened or began in 1952 and are still here today
Newspapers which were in the town in 1952 and still are today
Retailers who were in the town in 1952 and still are today

The event is still in the planning stage but will probably include refreshments for all invitees, free car parking, special commemorative goody-bags and possibly a small fireworks display as well as the lighting of the beacon bonfire.

To join the council in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations call 01753 875194 or 01753 875088 or e-mail events@slough.gov.uk and tell us why this 60 year period is special to you.
