The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

As we are all aware this year is The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which we aim to commemorate here in the County. There will be a number of events at County and local level which you may wish to become involved in. Key to these will be:

QDJ Dinner on Saturday 2nd June. There has been considerable interest in this and I would urge any adults who have not yet committed to the event to do so. The points of contact for more information and tickets are the CEO and RSMI.

Dover Tattoo on Friday 1st June and Saturday 2nd June. the Dover Tattoo is the Main Effort event for 2 Bde to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and as such we will be involved. It is likely that our commitment will be to support the Families Day on Saturday, between 1100 and 1600. B Coy will take the lead, with A Coy prepared to support.

Jubilee Beacon lighting at Dibgate on Monday 4th June. More details to follow.

If you are planning on getting involved with Jubilee events as a Det or Coy at a district or local level remember to pass them through the CoC in the normal way as for for any other training or community engagement event.

As you know a commemorative medal (the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal) has been approved and can be worn now as a miniature. The full size medal will be issued to eligible personnel from June onwards and will be awarded to adults at a suitable event. Details confirming who is eligible to receive the medal with be confrimed by CHQ very shortly.
