Lorries needed
Nuneaton Carnival is issuing an appeal for
help. More Lorries are needed to be included in the Procession in one of the towns
biggest events!
This year’s Carnival will be taking place
on Sunday 8th June and this year’s theme 'Pack Up and Your
Troubles... And Smile' in commemoration of the centenary anniversary of the
start of World War 1 has resonated with a large number of local community
groups wanting to be involved.
Procession
Manager Martin Hobbins has confirmed that the Committee is looking for
lorries, specifically 7.5 ton curtain-siders if possible as these do not have
the same restrictions for drivers or other unique ways to transport those
looking to be involved around the 3 mile route, anybody who can help should
contact Martin Hobbins on 07932 702706
or email: martincarnival67@gmail.com.
The route will be reverting to 2 stops as
seen in previous years, at St Nicolas Church on Attleborough Rd and on Vicarage
Rd.
Mr. Hobbins has confirmed that 3 bands 1st Ibstock Scout Group Band, Spirit of Coventry Drum Corps and Army cadet band have already been lined up to ensure the
route is as musical as ever.
On Carnival Day you will be able to see the
new Senior Carnival Court;
Queen Emmi Burton as well as her princesses
Tanya Alcock and Rosemary Russell
and for the first time ever the new Junior
Court;
Queen Evie Philpott and her princesses Mia
Reynolds and Jaycee Snow,
Who are currently preparing for the day and
having their dresses fitted by local business Full length and Fabulous.

Nuneaton Carnival Bands 2014
Nuneaton Carnival has prepared for this year to be bigger than ever. From last year we have two more marching bands.
The final ingredient is now YOU!
We have spaces available for you to either walk or be on a float. You are the people that make the carnival happen, so get involved!
The bands that we have are:
1st Ibstock scout group - All linked with scouting and have done a great job at getting a mixture of young people to work as a team. It is through the hard work and dedication they have managed to perform for the Queen and won several awards, a true honour to have them liven up our carnival day.
Spirit of Coventry – From just over the boarder of the M6, the American style marching band allows anyone to join from the age of 7. They give a real community feel to any event ... that is why we booked them.
The Army Cadet band are also playing.
The Nuneaton Carnival takes place on the 8th June 2014; the procession begins at One O’clock on Avenue Road, near the Pingles Leisure Centre going through the centre of Nuneaton.

April fool
Live lion to lead Nuneaton Carnival
Nuneaton Carnival committee have managed to make an arrangement to loan a lion to walk the route on Sunday 8th June 2014.
Extra security has been brought in over the lion being along the 2.75 mile route. The bands have been moved to the second half of the procession and the carnival queen float brought forward. The trained Gurkhas will protect the Queen and princesses from the crowds being prepared for any lion mishaps.
The roaring start to the carnival is set to bring in crowds from all over the town. This will be the first attempted walk of a lion through Nuneaton town centre. The lion is set to be guided by only a wooden stick and the pack relationship. We do ask as usual that no coins are thrown as not only will this cause injury to contestants in the procession. It could also mean you may end up being a bit closer to the teeth of the animal that you might like.
The lion will be escorted by its trainer along the route, even allowing to be petted at the two stops. This will be at St Nicholas church and the Ropewalk car park entrance. Very limited spaces for a few select members of the community to be able to stroke the lion.
We do hope you are very excited about this first for Nuneaton Carnival.

Graphic Design person
Nuneaton Carnival is looking for someone to help with graphic design.
This will range from simple posters for events to the carnival programme.
If you are interested in the voluntary position, please get in touch as we have started putting the programme together - with no front page, we have no posters to advertise and no true theme for the community to follow. Here are the previous years http://nuncarnival.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/2014programme.html
I assume the position would not take up too much time with the main jobs being the programme cover, that is the poster to go up around Nuneaton and the Carnival Queen selection night that has just been held.
If you think you know someone who can help with this - why not direct them here or pass on the details.
