It's that time of year at last
When all turn up and have a blast.
The pit is dug, the ox is turned,
Just well cooked and never burned!
The green is filled with cheery folk,
Beautiful music and BBQ smoke.
Euan's team have planned it right
And made 2010 a successful night.
So many people have helped all day;
Others for good weather pray.
Over 500 ox roast tickets sold.
No one got wet, just a little cold.
The band was playing till half past ten,
Dancing children, women and men.
The raffle offered lovely prizes -
The winners got some nice surprises.
Thames Valley Playground will benefit
And all the folk who play in it.
So Matt would like to hear a cheer
For every single volunteer.
And don't forget when next year's here
You could be that volunteer.
Turn the ox, or dig the pit,
Sell the tickets, do your bit.
Cook the burgers, fill the bun,
Or just turn up and have some fun;
Come and help erect a tent,
But most of all - support the event.
A very big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the Village Green Party in 2010. In total £525 was raised for the Thames Valley Adventure Playground.
Next year's Village Green Party is on Saturday 18 June 2011. If you'd like to help, please email Matt Travers at
