Revive the Village Carnival
WENVOE FESTIVAL
You may have read in last month’s What’s On that the Community Council have discussed a proposal to revive the Village Carnival which was last held in the 1980s. We have established a committee to take this forward with the aim of holding the event over a weekend next July. In view of the cost and difficulty of obtaining permissions to close Port Road to allow a procession to cross to the sports field, we consider it would be more practical to hold the whole event in the field.
Early suggestions envisage a funfair together with sporting events for young and old. Live music including an evening barn dance and some possible talent competitions. Craft exhibitions and, of course, eating and drinking facilities. Hopefully a number, if not all, of the village groups and organisations will wish to take part.
Our next meeting to discuss all of this will be held in the Community Centre at 7.00pm on Thursday 8th December and anyone who is interested is welcome to join us. If you are unable to make this date or just want to talk it through, please feel free to give me a ring. Colin Thomas on 07776134337.
