Play Safely will host a ‘Crafty Coronation Competition’ at the Pavilion, Queens Park (and outside weather permitting!) from 10-1 on Saturday 15 June.

The plan is to run a mass ‘making’ competition with junk modelling, drawing and collages etc.  The theme is ‘inventions since the coronation …. and the Queen’  so anything related to the queen (crowns, thrones, castles etc) plus rockets, robots and ‘boys stuff’!

We will also have several ‘craft’ stalls with local people selling their wares – home made jewellery, jams, bibs etc etc.  Please do let me know if you would like a stand.  £10 per table.

Tea, coffee and cakes – but not hot dogs this year.

Three age groups:  Pre-school / Infants and Juniors.  So there will be three age group winners and then one overall winner and the winning designs will be displayed at the Caterham Library

Jarvis Kenrick was the son of the Rector of St Mary’s Church Caterham. He was an all round sportsman, playing football and 1st class cricket. He also the Hon Secretary of the England Croquet association.
As a footballer he won three F.A.Cup medals with Wanderers, but his claim to fame is that whilst playing for Clapham Rovers in 1871 he scored the very first F.A.Cup goal.
A relative, Jarvis Kenrick Browning will be coming to unveil the plaque with representatives of Caterham Hill Parish Council, Wanderers and CLapham Rovers football clubs, Richard Gould, CEO of Surrey Cricket Club, John Gilbert from the Caterham Croquet Club and other distinguished guests. It is hoped to have a football match in Queens Park between the two sides, so watch this space!
