I am unsure as to your reason for making this list public, as an organiser of one of the above we do not want more people 1, for insurance reasons 2, Most are by invite only to the people living on the roads. 3, It is not afreebee every attendee paid.
We do not want gate crashers

I doubt very much that the purpose of the post was for those who are not having a street party to select one from the list to 'gate crash'

I should imagine the post was for info only and to make people aware of road blocks. FYI you might want to let the Wirral Globe know that you don't wish for any gate crashers seeing as it was them that made it public in the first place!

I for one would never dream of attending a street party that I hadn't been invited to. We are not lucky enough to be having one unfortunately but it would be nice to know where they are locally so we could drive by and let my daughter see all the decs and bunting etc.

Be sure to let us know which one yours is and we'll give it a wide berth!

Exo is correct in questioning about insurance, nothing to do with being miserable!

If you are the organiser of a street party, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate insurance cover for the event. For a street party, you will need to look at your own individual household insurance to check that it includes public liability in your policy. Most policies do. If not, you will need to take out a policy. There's quite a few companies that do them. Then there's the road closure application if you want your road closed off and it's used for through traffic, which I don't think you can get until you have consent from the Council for the event. Generally as a rule, it's a minimum of 6 weeks' notice.

You may also need a licence if you intend to have alcohol that isn't free (i.e. to sell to those attending) and music (live or pre-recorded). Music must be off by 2300 too.

I know it's boring, but always best to be safe than sorry. Kudos to those organising one as it's a lot to do behind the scenes with all the paperwork, applications etc happy

I have been roped into helping at one of the parties on the list. I don't want to but its not worth the hassle for not doing it. The street has had 2 street parties over the past couple of years. The council shuts the road in the morning and opens it again at 5pm. No hassle, no clip board carrying jobs worths, everyone has a good day. I dont know all the leagalities but the women who orginises them is not stupid.

Many more parties are being held than the " Street Parties " list shows.
Oxton Society are having one in the Arno , in conjunction with Friends of the Arno.
Churches of Bebington area are organising one in Mayer Park on Sat.2nd June.
Methodist Church in Prenton has one in Car Park and own grounds.
Trinity with Palm Grove in Alton Road , Oxton is doing the same .
Churches of Rock Ferry & Tranmere are having one in Victoria Park at the
bottom end of Albany Road -that is the next weekend . The village in Lower
Bebington is decked out with bunting and Union Flags . Is it the same in your
part of the Wirral ? Most pubs are jumping on the band-wagon . It is building up
to a whole week or two of celebrations . What happened to the recession ??
Posted By: bert1 Re: jubilee street parties - 28th May 2012 6:34am
I often ponder why I have no enthusiasm for celebrations of this kind, I think to myself, could it be that people are losing their jobs and homes on a daily basis, services we once enjoyed are being cut with more people losing their jobs, surely not. Then I look on the bright side, when I get that knock on the door asking if I can contribute to War on want, Oxfam and Save the Children I can unashamedly look them in the eye and tell them to fook off I've got a Queens jubilee to pay for.

Sometimes we do have to party to keep our sanity, Bert. It would be interesting to find out how many party-goers actually support the Monarchy. Maybe you could get involved with your clip board?

I'm off to Buckingham Palace to look for Touchstone before he causes trouble.

Yes Bert, yes Bert. Do you really want me to list them all here? One main opinion is that it's a darn site better option than the corrupt politicians who have been leading the country for so long. Tony Blair as President and Gordon Brown as his Prime Minister? :r:I don't think so? Who would you like to see as President Bert there aren't any Statesmen any longer, maybe a watered down version of Ken Clarke might suit or even David Cameron? There again how about Ken Livingston or Boris? raftl In fact you'd probably find it would be some official hiked in from Europe whom we had never heard of.What can you see as the benefits of being without a Monarchy Bert?

Granny, if this country ever did end up with a President Blair, Cameron or Boris, at least the country would have elected them and of course through the democratic system, dispose of them, I've never had that option were monarchs are concerned no matter how displeasing they might be in the future.

Thanks Max. Some ideas for you!

ex0 new avatar 'the appearances of things are deceptive' (Latin)

Illuminati new avatar 'enlightened' hmmmmm! (More Latin)

The movement was founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria) as the Order of the Illuminati, with an initial membership of five,[1] by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt (d. 1830),[2] who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt.[3] It was made up of freethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment and seems to have been modeled on the Freemasons.[4] The Illuminati's members took a vow of secrecy and pledged obedience to their superiors. Members were divided into three main classes, each with several degrees, and many Illuminati chapters drew membership from existing Masonic lodges.(Wikipedia)

All very interesting, obviously connected to a reliious movement.

Sorry a bit off topic here. Probably get struck off again.

Yes, know what you're saying Bert, but that would then mean no stability for us as a nation of people. So many others in this world would love our Monarchy and traditions. If it changed, I think so many more things would too, and to our detriment. Just my opinion, taken from examples world wide over the last century at least. I do think this anti Monarchist traite is far more prevelant in the North West and North East, than anywhere else in the country, so I'm not too bothered. Will enjoy all the support that our Queen gets down in London and other places throughout the UK.

I was going to stay off this thread but couldn't resist it. The BBC seems to be sinking to new levels of sycophantic reporting regarding the Jubilee. It's totally abdicating its responsibilities as an impartial broadcaster. It's ironic that the Duke of Edinburgh thought that the BBC was a den of Marxists. Actually, it's so far up the Queen's backside it can see Cliff Richard's feet.

This letter in today's Morning Star sums up my opinion of the Monarchy and this whole Jubilee charade.

Quote
The media's coverage of the diamond jubilee reveals how the monarchy is sustained by propaganda and emotion rather than reason.

A cringe worthy deference exaggerates the Queen's "service." We hear of her incredible stamina, remarkable devotion and value to the nation without any evidence.

My grandfather provided a service that was faithfully carried out as he mined coal.

He showed an incredible stamina and remarkable enthusiasm by entering a dangerous, claustrophobic, dust-filled environment, day after day for over 50 years. Even in the bloody aftermath of roof falls he returned to do his duty.

After 50 years his "superiors" symbolised his accomplishments with a carriage clock and the knowledge that his family and friends were the "enemy within."

The Thatcher government proceeded to destroy his hard-earned heritage and tear the soul from the community.

For decades, my grandfather and millions like him have created the wealth and success that supported the monarchy and Establishment.

It would have been more appropriate and cheaper to present the lady with a carriage clock forged from all the symbols of British industry and dedicate the jubilee to the labour done by Britain's unseen workers.

In doing so, we may have been spared cringe-worthy column-writing while gaining some history lessons. Surely of more value in our current crisis than any abstract "feel-good factor."
