Some time ago it became clear that there was a demand for bringing back part of the Garston Carnival.
Obviously we already have the Garston Fun Day in June, but we don't have the parade/procession element.
A small group of us have been looking at what needs to be done if this is to come back. There is lots of tedious organisational stuff, and money also needs to be raised.
But most importantly at this stage, we need to know if there are enough people out there who are not just prepared to say they want it, but to take on jobs between now and June to make it a reality.
We still have some official hoops to jump through re permissions etc, but we are keen to gague enthusiasm and get more people on board in an organising/helping way.
The idea is for a procession to be on the same day as the Fun Day on Garston Park and to link up with it. (We still however have to go through permissions etc with police and Council so a lot is up in the air right now).
So, if you want to get involved, particularly in doing stuff before the day, do come along to our meeting.
We've booked the big room at the Garston Urban Village Hall on 19th November at 7pm. There we'll be looking to discuss ideas and progress so far, and sign people up for things. We need thoughts, and committee members, and creative people and.. well everyone really. Big thanks so far to Tina Ford who has been chatting to huge numbers of people and getting the interest going.
We will at some point set up a separate Facebook Group for the organisational/build up side of things. But for now, we have an e mail list and if you want to go on it, please e mail paulakeaveney@yahoo.co.uk with your details.
