WOW! We made it! |
We weren’t sure the new format would take off but the 2007 Carnival went down a storm: 7 fantastic entrants to the parade, with absolutely wonderful costumes and props. The parade stretched from Brinsley Church to Broad Lane!!!! We really hope you’re all proud of yourselves; there have been nothing but complimentary comments so far, and you all looked great – especially the winners, “The Pirates of Church Walk”, who scooped a prize of £500! See yourselves on the website (www.brinsleycarnival.com): great pix from the Day!
Again this year we had amazing sponsorship, which we used to provide fantastic prizes for the parade competition. Hopefully we will have similar gestures next year, so get planning your carnival parade entry NOW! |
What’s on Carnival 2008? |
       
And much more… |
The Carnival relies entirely on goodwill: from the few volunteers who make it happen, the sponsors whose generosity provides the funds, the folks who get together to enter the Parade – and YOU, the people of Brinsley. If you have ideas to offer, or time, or just about anything else which will help the Carnival to continue, please do call any of the team: we’d love to hear from you! (Roy on 07768 310188, or Andy on 07791 363 566) |
