Dennington's Jubilee Picnic was held on Sunday 5th June. Following the bells being rung out to summon people to Church, a large number of villagers attended a short service. The Church was decorated with flowers from the WI and Church Flower Arrangers:

After some tea and biscuits, attention moved to the dedication of the Jubilee Oak Tree on the village green. Robert Rous read from the Queen's Canopy project and Adrian Neill thanked all who helped, including Mr and Mrs Archard who donated the tree guard.
