An important message
from the Lytham Club Day committee
It is with great sadness that the Lytham
Club Day Committee have decided to
cancel this year’s Rose Queen & Club
Day Festival due to Covid-19. We do
not take this decision lightly, indeed
Club Day has only ever been cancelled
in the past due to the first and second
world wars. We’ve considered all
information available at the moment
including projections that indicate the
timing of the peak of the virus and
believe it is the right thing to do.
Some may feel that we are premature
in our decision, however we are
aware that as well as the Committee,
the Community of Lytham put a
great deal of time, money and effort
into preparation for Club Day and
we want to be able to give everyone
sufficient notice to minimise any
losses or disappointment. It would be
at this point ordinarily that we would
be increasing our preparations by
finalising our Magazine, issuing letters
of appeal, publishing the parade entry
form, selling raffle tickets, booking stall
holders and entertainment etc., not to
mention of course all the Community
Groups that will be working on their
float ideas and putting them into
action. It seems the right time to make
this decision.

I have spoken to and received full
support from Alan Oldfield our Chief
Executive at Fylde Borough Council
and informed him that our Lytham
Rose Queen Aisha Berry will continue
her year and attend any official duties
such as Remembrance Sunday etc.
Phoebe Rowlings will pick up her reign
from Aisha in June 2021 as the new
Lytham Rose Queen.
Everyone affected by this decision
including stallholders will be contacted
over the next few days and refunds
arranged, if anyone has questions about
any aspect of Club Day, please email me
at
[email protected] and I will
arrange for the correct Committee
Member to contact you.
I wish everyone good health and promise
that Lytham Club Day & Rose Queen
Festival will be back, bigger and better.
See you on the 26th June 2021.
Andrea Swindlehurst.
