Carnival 2005 is underway

Posted on March 1, 2005

We again have the challenge of trying to better the results of last year's Carnival. The 2004 event raised over £10,000 and this has been disbursed to a variety of local worthy causes. Everyone who contributed in any way has every reason to be pleased with their efforts and you may find it interesting to see the complete list of charitable contributions (along with some candid photos) on the Carnival website

The St Mary’s Village Carnival 2005 will be held on the 2nd of July on Edlesborough Green and preparation has begun for another successful event.

The theme in 2005 is "Nursery Rhymes", which once more gives a wide range of choices for anyone who wants to get into the spirit of the day. As anyone who has participated in the past knows, we are all encouraged to come in costumes. So, come all Little Miss Muffets, all Georgie Porgies (No kissing!), Bo Peeps, Jack Horners, Humpty Dumpties - or even the Wheels on the Bus if you wish.

We will be following the pattern of the Carnival which has been so successful in the past and the major charitable recipient will be the Dagnall Church Extension. However, as always, we will also be sharing the receipts among the many local groups that go to enrich the life of the villages.

Further details can be found here.
