BOURNEMOUTH
CARNIVAL WEEK

 

 

AUGUST 2011

A decade of the new millenium gone and we are still providing what is now becoming "an endangered species" CARNIVAL!

Thanks to hard work over many years by numerous committee members
and many long term sponsors and of course the generosity and help from the local authority we are still here!

In burgeoning financial times,we have already put together a packed programme of competitions and entertainment for 2011,so all we need now is the blessing of fine weather.

All you need to do is come along to take part or just enjoy our free fun filled week,culminating with the carnival processiion and grand gala night on 7th August.

Welcome to my 43rd year of doing what I love BOURNEMOUTH CARNIVAL WEEK

God bless you all

2011 had lovely weather during Carnival Week All of the photos taken during the week have been placed on our web-site, so hopefully no one will wonder what happened to their photo. If participants or sponsors would like copies please contact us. Displaying photos of all the events will, hopefully encourage local business concerns to assist us for, we hope, a very successful 2011 Carnival Week.
We Need You

The committee are all volunteers, no one is paid for any services rendered, so please, traders and financial services, who benefit so much from trading in our beautiful Town, become a greater part of the community and help the continuation of the town's oldest voluntary activities.

-------WE NEED YOU.-------
