LIFE
Celebrating everywhere...
From the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee to u3a’s birthday and the Charter Fair...
Wherever you look people are getting ready to celebrate – and it’s all happening in your area!
The Charter Fair this year is on Saturday 25th June, so pop it in your diary now as you won’t want to miss out. It gets bigger and better every year and there’s so much to see (page 20).
Eric Franklin’s ‘Glance at the Past’ never fails to be an interesting read, and this issue is no exception. This month he shares some lovely old photographs of how the town use to look, can you recognise the locations (page 24)?
Thrapston Town Council announce the town’s plans for the Queen’s Platinum Jubliee.

Who doesn’t love a picnic in the park or a street party? Get your bunting up and the flags out, it’s nearly time to celebrate the reign of our amazing Queen (page 17).
And if a Fair and a Jubilee aren’t exciting enough for you, then Thrapston’s own u3a has a birthday too. They have been established in the town for ten years! What a brilliant way to make new friends and have fun (page 26).
