Thursday 23rd April was The Queen’s 90th birthday, and we were invited in the evening to join a beacon lighting ceremony outside Finchampstead Church. Once the beacon on top of the church was alight (disappointingly lit by a gas burner rather than having a bonfire on the top) we did a short display, which seemed to go down well, before strolling down the road to the Queens Oak. There we did a few dances, including a chaotic Jolly Jockey in near darkness, before repairing to our usual Thursday haunt of The Bull at Barkham.
