Quiz night Sunday 13th June

Why do we seem to arrange these nights to coincide with England playing in a football tournament?

Who knows... but who cares, not those who made it to the Kings Arms, for yet another Goodwin's brain teaser of an evening.

12 teams were tested on every subject known to man (well it seemed like it) but could the quizmaster be beaten?

No I don't think so!

Thanks to all those who attended and thanks once again to Jim for the questions and to Richard and Cindy for their support.

Clay Pigeon Shoot 26th June

Trying different ways to raise funds for the Carnival is always a challenge, so when the idea of a clay pigeon shoot was raised, we thought why not give it a go.

Together with the help of friends who have organised these things before we held a shoot in the Vicarage Field, South Tawton .

A wet start to the day did not bode well so we were all concerned that people might not turn up, but after a slow start, shooters from both away and locally arrived to enjoy some friendly rivalry

Some of the ladies on our committee provided a BBQ and a raffle was held for a bottle of whiskey.

A profit was made from the event to go to carnival funds and we again have people from outside our committee to thank for the help and support.

A particular mention to John Darch for allowing us to use the field.


Your Committee
South Zeal Carnival is one of the few village carnivals still thriving . Thanks to a bunch of hard working volunteers who organise fund raising events throughout the year and also the Carnival Day itself.

The Carnival has a strong history and continues to bring enjoyment to many with both the Carnival Day and also the fund raising events we hold.

Why do it ?
Because we've nothing better to do ?..... No, it's to do with taking and being part of the community life and showing others that the community spirit still lives on, in our villages.


Who does it ?
The carnival committee organises both the day itself and the associated fund raising, through its regular meetings (usually held at The Kings Arms in the village - with thanks to Richard & Cindy for their hospitality).

The committee are
Dawn Watkins (joint Chairperson)
Donna Mallett (
Secretary) rcmallett@btopenworld.com
Vicki Watkins (
Minutes Secretary)
Andy White (
joint Chairperson & Treasurer) southzealcarnival@fsmail.net
Jenny Shaddick & Jackie Guscott (
Publicity)
John Shaddick, Maria Guscott, Lisa Liversidge, May Madders, Jane White, Clifford White & Kenny Shaddick (
General Committee)

So as you see, we are quite a mixed bunch but we always welcome any input, ideas and thought's from everyone.


What's in it for me ?
If you've ever wanted to be a bit more involved in the local community and try to give something back, this is the ideal way, as we do all our fund raising in the locality, in different venues and your help at these events (setting up the equipment, manning a stall or service or as a steward at the event) ,shows that you want to be involved and not just live within your own four walls.

Carnival Day! We always need as many helpers as possible on this day, for setting up and marshalling duties.

The Children's Afternoon Parade is one of the largest events of it's kind in the area, with a wonderful array of costumes and entries . The more popular it becomes the more help we need.

Carnival Evening we have many things going on at the same time and that's why you see all those people in fluorescent yellow jackets, running around all over the place. We never can never have enough help at this time, so if you fancy putting on a yellow jacket and giving us a hand on the night please let us know - NOW, to enable us to make the most of your help !

If this doesn't take your fancy don't worry, you can still show your support, by attending our fundraising events and the Carnival itself.
YOUR CARNIVAL NEEDS YOU!!!!

Who benefits from all of this ?
We are a non profit making group and each year we make a donation to charity. We alternate the charity chosen each year, one year a local cause and the following year a regional/national charity. Last year the donation was sent to the cancer charity CLIC. If you or your organisation would like to be considered for a donation at the end of the year, contact the committee with details (we cannot promise anything until after the Carnival when the decision is made at a committee meeting).
