couples at Golden wedding celebrations in Banqueting Hall

There is still time to apply to be invited to this year's Golden Wedding celebrations.

The Provosts of South and North Lanarkshire Councils are hosting three special afternoon tea dances for Lanarkshire couples celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2012.

The 2012 Golden Weddings events will take place each afternoon on Wednesday 12th, Thursday 13th and Friday 14th September in the Banqueting Hall in South Lanarkshire Council's headquarters in Hamilton.

If you live in Lanarkshire and 2012 is your Golden Wedding Year, please write to:

South Lanarkshire Council
Administration Services
Floor 2
Almada Street
Hamilton, ML3 0AA

Please include your name, address and contact telephone number in order that we can put you on the invitation list. With this letter you should also enclose a photocopy of your Marriage Certificate. A form requesting further details will be sent to all couples as soon as possible.

However, as this event is so popular, invitations are strictly limited to Golden Wedding couples - other family members cannot be included unless there is a genuine requirement for their assistance. This should be made clear when applying.

You also have the option of sending us your wedding photo which we will use as part of a presentation and in the souvenir programme. Please provide your name and address on the back of your photograph. The photograph will be returned to you at the event.

If you require further information please phone Lynne Wyllie on 01698 455361.
