“Last year on Sunday June 5 the best part of two million people took part in 2012.

“This year, The Big Lunch falls on the same weekend as The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations on Sunday, June 3 and as announced by Buckingham Palace the Big Jubilee Lunch will be a part of the main programme of events over the central weekend of the Diamond Jubilee.”

ASCA will be hosting the first of many Big Lunch events in their new community hall, currently being constructed on the site of the former Stewart Memorial Hall.

Uniquely, the Big Lunch will be serving a delicious “Coronation Curry Lunch” carefully prepared beforehand at well-known local Restaurant Brown’s, followed by scrumptious desert, and, lots of fun games during the afternoon for all the family to enjoy.
