WEDDING OF THE YEAR 2012! SEE PAGE 9 FOR FULL DETAILS!

Dear Readers and Advertisers Pageantry and patriotism - did you get swept along in the excitement of the Jubilee Weekend celebrations? Despite the June weather agenda of rain and cold, many thousands of us held street parties, watched the events on TV, or travelled up to London to stand on the bank of the Thames and soak up the atmosphere for ourselves. Closer to home, Broadditch Farm - the highest point in Southfleet Village - took part in the Jubilee Beacon lighting ceremony on 4th June, and hosted a Jubilee Beacon Picnic before the beacon was lit. The opportunity to be there and feel involved in such an historic event around the country are what memories are made of. From the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, our summer of patriotism continues with Euro 2012 football tournament, guaranteed to raise the roof in our local pubs when England play, and then the London 2012 Olympics. Whether you're sporty or not, this really is a special year to be proud to be British and support the many months of sheer hard work and preparation that goes into these events. Including all the hard work that has gone into organising the Longfield Festival on Sunday, 1st July. A terrific event every year, it's held at Longfield Community Park, from midday - 5pm with stalls and activities to interest all ages, so please do gather up your family, go along and give them your support. We're working hard to make each edition of The Village Advertiser a magazine to be proud of and 'going colour' continues to grab your attention. We aim to carry on producing editions in colour, with adverts in colour or black and white, to give advertisers a choice when they book a space. Thank you to all the advertisers and readers who have complimented us on how good the magazine looks and how quickly we've been able to increase the number of pages. Our July Wordsearch Competition is kindly being sponsored by Longfield Butchers, with a prize of a Meat Barbecue pack - so get your entry in by 15th July. The winner of our June competition was xxx xxxxxx of xxxxxxx, who won a Traditional Afternoon Tea and Cruise for Two on the Thames, courtesy of us at The Village Advertiser. Congratulations to xxx xxxxx, we hope s/he has a wonderful afternoon. Please keep your comments coming in - we love to hear from you - and if you would like to know more about booking an advertising space in the next edition of The Village Advertiser, please don't hesitate to call or email us in the office. Now, exactly when should we be thinking of taking the Jubilee bunting down?
