St Mary's Village Carnival 2005

Posted on April 1, 2005

We all know that when a rocket is launched the ground control counts backwards to blast-off and we are doing the same here. The count is at 3! We have only three months till THE DAY and it will be with us before we know it.

It is easy to assume that the Carnival has been a feature of village life forever. However, while a fete, fair or even fayre was probably held in the villages going back into antiquity, its modern form is not so old as we may think. One of the pioneers of the Carnival as it is today is Mel Grundy and he has provided us with a personal insight into the history as he remembers it.

Mel's personal insight, can be found here on the St Mary's Village Carnival website.
