LETTER FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Dear Friends,
Thank you for buying this Programme and so helping our Carnival.
You will no doubt know that the Carnival is part of our Centenary Year Celebrations and we of the Carnival Committee, feel a very important one. We trust you will enjoy the parade and all the many field events which we hope all age groups will be able to enjoy.
Now we are asking for the help of your good selves to give generously to the many charities which we hope to be able to support through your kind donations.
Please remember that the effort put into organIsing this Carnival by many voluntary unpaid workers has stretched over many months and the opportunity of gaining a rewarding profit for our charities is restricted to one day.
Have a wonderful time at our Centenary Carnival.
Thank you,
H. FARRIMOND
