We’re delighted to tell you plans are now well underway to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We’re helping to organise a Traditional Street Party in Main Road on the afternoon of Friday 3 June. The road will be closed to vehicles, except in an emergency, between the traffic lights at Lebanon Gardens and Haig Road

There will be music from Fairchildes School Steel Band (some of you may remember them from last years’ Biggin Hill Carnival), along with street entertainers, competitions and activities for the little ones. Be assured, the event will be adequately stewarded and Main Road will be festooned in red, white and blue decorations. The party itself is free and there’s no need to book. 

Just turn up with your own picnic, or purchase food and drink from the number of local businesses that will be open on the day. We’ll be setting up tables for families to sit at, but you’ll need to bring your own chairs, or why not bring a blanket and sit on the grass verges? We ask you to please leave your dogs at home. 

We hope everyone has a fantastic time.

Let’s make this a day to remember and fingers crossed the sun shines!

St Mark’s Church, one of the centres of our Community. And where we will be holding our celebration of Robbie Burns and all things Scottish on Saturday 29th January. Some tickets remain for this joint enterprise with St Marks.

We thank you for your support over the last 12 difficult months. We exist to support and help our Community. You are all central to what we do. Please! Please! Help us to increase our membership by talking to your neighbours and friends about what we do. More members mean more money which we can invest in our Village and residents.

Your Committee wish you a safe & happy Christmas followed by a good New Year.

Bob Shekyls was a much-respected local Councillor for 12 years, between 1994 and 2006, and sadly passed away a few years ago. In normal circumstances, in memory of Bob, the Residents Association invites locals to nominate young people under the age of 25 who live, go to school or work in the area, for the annual Bob Shekyls Achievement Award for Young People. 

I’m sure we’re all agreed that 2020 has been a very strange year and so, with that in mind, the Biggin Hill Residents Association committee has decided that this year, the Bob Shekyls Award should be given to people in recognition of their contribution to helping our local community. 

We’re therefore delighted to announce that Bob’s award will be given to the wonderful organisers of Biggin Hill’s Covid-19 Mutual Aid Team. Jo Ryan, Louise Bell, Simon Turner and Jordan Brown have all worked tirelessly to recruit and coordinate 120 local volunteers who, in turn, completed over 720 requests for shopping and collecting medication for vulnerable and shielding people in our community. You’ve done a fantastic job guys and we’re all really proud of you! 

In celebration of this amazing achievement and to reflect the spirit of giving, the committee will be awarding £100 each to Biggin Hill and Oaklands Primary Schools. 

2020 will be remembered in many ways and we hope this year’s award will help us recall all those simple acts of kindness that made all the difference to people’s lives.
