CHIPPING Sodbury’s Big Lunch committee is looking for new members.

The annual get together on Broad Street, held on the same day as hundreds of other similar events up and down the country, will next year take place on Sunday, June 5.

This year’s 1940s themed event saw an estimated 3,000 people share picnics together and enjoy a free line-up of entertainment including local dance groups, a Punch and Judy show, Bristol Samba Band and The Cat’s Pyjamas.

Chairman Alexandra Womack said: “Several of our committee members have stood down this year and we would like to thank them publicly for their invaluable efforts and support planning our Big Lunch and on the day itself.

“We are only a small committee but would welcome some new members to help in the planning stages. Whether you are good at designing posters or carrying out risk assessments, we would love to hear from you.”
