Carnival Comments 2004 (or weathering the storm South Zeal Fashion)
We plan our fund raising events, we plan our finances, we plan Carnival Day itself but who can plan for the day's weather on October 23rd? Were we right to go ahead? "You should postpone till next week", but who knows what next week's weather will bring? And also factors such as Policing, Marshalling, Road Closures, bands etc. can't be re arranged just like that. But Go ahead we did... after a meeting of the committee at 8 o'clock on Carnival day morning it was decided to give all those, who put time and effort into making the floats, the chance to parade.
The results and pictures, on the Journal pages, tell the story of the day and it goes without saying that we owe a great big thank you to the following people or groups. St John's Boys Brigade Band Hatherleigh Band St John's Ambulance All our Marshals Okehampton & Tavistock Police Mr. Jazz Catering Ray Ebdy PLUS!! All of those who took the time to put together an entry and take part and all who gave generously on the night
SOUTH ZEAL CARNIVAL A G M 29th Nov. 7.30pm ... KINGS ARMS..

Your Committee |
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). |
