A message from theCarnival Committee

Chairman

Welcome to Carnival 2018.We often see comments on social media that “Carnival isn’t the same asit used to be”. In many ways that is the way it should be - times changeand events need to reflect the current way of living. The volunteercommittee who organise Carnival strive to maintain the traditions of theevent, whilst making it relevant to today.

We appreciate that legislation over the years has made Health & Safetymore of an issue than it used to be, but running a safe Carnival for you allto enjoy has to be a priority.

We thank all those who enter the procession and run stalls in the recreationground. These greatly contribute to the success of Carnival - and are totallyin the hands of the people of our community. We can create the event andarrange the arena events for groups to showcase their activities, butwithout your contribution Carnival cannot happen.

Our objective is to provide a fun day for our local community, and to raisemuch needed funds for local groups. Help us make it happen, book a stallin 2019, enter your group in the procession - the future of Carnival is inyour hands.

There is a form on page 59 to nominate groups to receive a share ofCarnival profit - we list the recipients from 2017 on page 7.

Finally, please put Saturday 13th July 2019 in your diary for Carnival 2019.Don’t forget to let us have your ideas for the 2019 theme by 31st July, tobe balloted on our website in August.

With its roots back in down town Harlem, swing dance hit the UKduring WW2 with an explosion of jazz and swing that provided anemotional escape for young people. This created a culturalrevolution allowing them to abandon their worries and to immersethemselves in the magic of social dancing and music. Nearly 100years later, the swing dance fever is back uniting and connectingus on and off the dance floor. Click here to find out more.

Whatever your age, join our community, learn to dance, and stepforward in time and on to the dance floor to recreate and transformthis magic called Swing Dance!

First aid is such a simple skill, but it has an incredible impact. We wanteveryone to learn it, so they have the confidence to do the right thing in amedical emergency.

We’re looking for people tobecome first aiders with the team - full training is provided and it’s anextremely rewarding way of getting involved with the local community.There are also other non-first aid roles available, such as in fundraising,which are just as important in supporting our work.

The group meets weekly on a Tuesday evening at Linslade CommunityHall, Waterloo Road, LU7 2NR (look for the St John Ambulance sign). Formore information please call the Unit Manager Graham Neale on 07826923685.

We were delighted with our donation from the Carnival Committeewhich will go towards our seasonal lunches.

We started this project two years ago. We decided to post invitationsthrough doors throughout the village. Our aim was to invite peoplewho lived alone or who are lonely or isolated to join us for a meal,at no cost to them, and entertainment. We hold these events fourtimes a year.

At our first lunch we welcomed 14 guests and at our latest lunchwe welcomed around 50 people! We are delighted with the supportwe receive from local businesses who donate ‘lucky ticket’ prizesand our local co-op recently included our project in their communitysupport fund.

This project has become a significant event in the lives of those wewelcome to each lunch and we very much enjoy the day along withthem.

Thanks to the carnival committee for donating to us.
