Carnival News – 7 May 2013

Last Sunday was the Maldon Mud Race. Our Carnival court was lending a helping hand by giving out the blankets at the finish line.  A muddy job but the court really enjoyed the task.

Our next fundraising event will be on the 19th of May.  The Carnival will be having a Duck Race on the canal (River Blackwater) at the back of Tesco.   We will be at Tesco’s in Maldon on Saturday the 18th May where you are able to sponsor a Duck for just £1.00.  The person who sponsors the winning duck will receive a special prize from the Chief Quacker.   Every person who sponsors a duck will receive a sponsorship certificate to keep.

Eileen Cannom is presenting a LIGHT CLASSICAL PIANO CONCERT performed by Helen Morris on SATURDAY June, the 1st 2013 at Maldon United Reformed Church, Market Hill, Maldon.   The concert starts at 1:00pm, with refreshments from 12:30pm.  This is a FREE event with donations going to the Carnival Fund.

PROCESSION

There is a free guide to the procession on our website(http://www.maldoncarnival.co.uk/carnival-day/procession-guide/).  If you are thinking about entering the procession take time to look through the guide.   We have a number of entries already confirmed.  The Epping Pipe Band will be leading the procession this year followed by our court.   Remember to fill in and return your procession form ASAP.

SPONSORSHIP AND DONATIONS

Maldon Carnival has been doing a number of fundraising events throughout the year in order to raise money for the Carnival, but we are always looking for donations outside of these events.  Over the next few weeks you will see Maldon Carnival collection pots in shops & pubs in Maldon.  You can make a donation of any size in these pots.

If you run a local business then you may be interested in sponsoring one of our carnival events. Every sponsor will have their business name on all the promotional material.  Have their business name displayed at the event and receive a “Thank You Certificate” to display in their business.  For more details on sponsorship please call Ruth on 07749 377015

Until Next Time….
