ORGANISERS of this year’s Thame Carnival report that planning is going really well and if your organisation or business has not already expressed an interest in being part of the parade or Fete, it’s not too late.
The theme for this year is ‘Carnival’ and entries for both walking and motorised entries are beginning their planning too.
Watch out for details of a poster competition for younger people during the Easter holidays. Entries will be displayed in the town hall and judged during the annual town meeting on April 21. The winning entry will be used on the front cover of the festival flyer publicising the event.
Details
All walking entries will need to gather at 12 o’clock (confirmation on exactly where the procession will start to come). All vehicle entries will need to assemble at 12 o’clock at the Station Yard Industrial Estate, Thame.
Vehicles will drive past and collect the walking entries from their start point. The parade will go down the High street and turn left into Southern Road (by the Rising Sun pub) ending at the Recreation Ground where the Fete will be held.
Everyone taking part needs to let Kathryn Osman: k.osman@tiscali.co.uk – know the following details:
Name of group / business
whether you are walking or on a vehicle
Title of entry (if you have one)
Any other information that will help with the planning (e.g. the organisers will try and spread out any entries that have music playing)
Kathryn told ThameNews.Net: “We are, as in other years, hoping to support local charities with any money raised this year and this will be discussed in more detail at our next meeting planned for April 20th.
“For any organisations that have already confirmed an interest in the Fete this year, the Rotary Club of Thame are currently coordinating this element of the day. Your details have been passed onto them and they will contact you in due course.
“Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you require any further information and I will contact you all again when I have a confirmed start point for all walking entries.
“Thank you for your support so far and we are looking forward to a great day!”
