Chislehurst May Queen Society

We are back for 2024!! This week was our second week of rehearsals and the retinue are absolutely amazing. In week one they went through 4 dances (we usually do one or two) and this included new joiners! Our retiring may Queen is doing a fantastic job teaching everyone. 1/3

It is with more than a Tonge of sadness that we say goodbye to Holly, Gina and Christian who have been involved with CMQS for over 10 years. They have quietly worked away in the background to make sure ceremonies go smoothly each year and we will miss them very much 1/2

@RedHillTPA Have a fantastic time!

@chislehurstkent @VisitChis Looking forward to it!

One week to go @VisitChis

We are really looking forward to performing at the Chislehurst Summer Fair again this year. See you there!

Doh! How could we forget to thank the wonderful @ItaliaContiChis! Their performance was a joy to watch and we have had many comments on how professional they were. Thank you Darren and team! Also a shout out for TS Brilliant who really are brilliant

And finally, thank you to the committee of the CMQS who work tirelessly behind the scenes and without who, there would be no May Queen! So thank you Christian, Holly, Gina, Catherine, Lynsey and Alison 💐

Last Saturday saw our centenary crowning ceremony, a very special day for us all. The sun was out, the birds were singing and, as usual, you, the people of Chislehurst, did what you do best: came out and supported your local community 1/
