<strong>Liphook</strong> Carnival<br />
Dear Residents<br />
Not long now until Carnival night, which this year takes place on<br />
Saturday 24th October, the night the clocks go back! We hope<br />
that you will come along and join in the festivities and of course,<br />
donate generously in the collecting tins which will be rattled by<br />
all our float riders, push and pullers and the walkers!<br />
The whole purpose of the Carnival is to raise money for others within<br />
the village, and we know how grateful members of the clubs, groups<br />
and societies that benefit from the funds are for your donations.<br />
Why not take part this year, we need more floats, walkers, pushers<br />
and pullers, it is free to join the procession and is a great way of<br />
advertising your business . . . check out our website for details of the<br />
categories or call me on 01428 723971 if you want to find out more!<br />
So we look forward to welcoming you on Carnival night and<br />
hope you have a fabulous evening, this year we will be holding<br />
the Children’s Fancy Dress competition at <strong>Liphook</strong> Junior<br />
School! So we hope to see lots of you there!<br />
Our Carnival Queen this year is Jodie Molesworth and our Princess<br />
is Megan Shepherd and her attendants are Mamta Tamang and<br />
Lily Windle.<br />
