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.

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
We are now looking for some more people from our local community to join our committee, In particular we are looking for:
- a treasurer
-a secretary
Full training will be given by the outgoing team.
Interested? email [email protected]
We are really looking forward to performing at the Chislehurst Summer Fair again this year. See you there!
We have a great line up on the Community stage at this years summer fair! Thanks to Michelle Sidwell Academy Of Dance for sponsoring! @VisitChis
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

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 💐
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
We were honoured to welcome the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress to our centenary crowning ceremony this weekend. Thank you both for coming and helping make the day so special
The crowning of the Chislehurst May Queen marked its 100th birthday this year! I was a great honour for the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress to attend the festivities, which had been postponed by a couple of weeks to avoid a clash with the coronation

ALT Girls wearing white dresses and yellow cardigans dance around a maypole in a park. Behind a barrier made of bunting, people watch.
ALT A Scout leader stands in the foreground of a park setting, looking at a procession of young girls. Most are wearing white dresses and yellow cardigans. At the front of the procession there is a yellow and green arch under which stands a girl in a white dress and white headdress. At the front of the procession a girl carries a banner reading "Chislehurst May Queen"
ALT Young girls wearing white dresses and yellow cardigans sit in a horizontal line in a park setting. In the middle of the line is a raised platform on which sits four girls dressed all in white.
Huge thanks to everyone at @ChisCommons for everything they do behind the scenes so that our crowning ceremony can go ahead. Your support means so much to us
A wonderful sunny afternoon and dancing on the Common! Congratulations to all involved in the Chislehurst May Queen Society!
