Carnival
was first started in 1956 to raise money to build a new
Civic Centre in Fleet. In 1971 Carnival gave £10,000
towards the new public halls - Chernocke Hall &
Carnival Hall thus achieving its ambition. From 1972
onwards money raised will go towards local good causes. |

Silver
Jubilee:
The Members of the Executive Committee of the Carnival
Association usually like to take a back seat at Carnival
time, but after 25 years, a few of them deserve to take a
bow for the longevity of their service to the community.
To mention all Members over the 25 years would be an
impossible task, so for old times' sake only the 'old
stagers' shall be mentioned! ,A Member of the very first
Carnival Committee of 1955/56 and the only person to have
sat on all the Committees over 25 years is Mrs. Joan
Vincent. Anyone acquainted with Joan knows that she is a
hard-working and loyal person, and apart from being the
Honorary Treasurer since 1958, she has applied her talents
to many other aspects of Carnival work including the Baby
Show and Ladies' night. Handling the finances of a
Carnival as big as ours is today is almost a full-time job
before and during the Carnival Week, and knowing that Joan
is an active member of other local organisations, we can
only admire her endless source of energy.
Chairman of the inaugural Carnival Committee was the late
Charles Woodman. In all, Charles was Chairman for ten
years; he served on the Committee for another six years,
and for the six years until his death in 1978 he was a
Life Vice-President of the Carnival Association. His
personality and selfless spirit were foundations on
which-Carnival was built, and Charles will be remembered
by both young and old for a long time.
Honorary Secretary Gordon Campbell is next in line for a
mention. He served for three years on the Carnival
Committee before becoming Secretary, and he has now held
that post for 17 years.
The present Chairman is Derek Vincent, and he was on the
General Committee for ten years before being voted in as
Chairman - a post he has filled admirably now for seven
years. Naturally, with Joan involved with Carnival from
its outset, Derek was also active behind the scenes, even
in the early days.
When Len Leech died early in 1978 he had been on the
Carnival Committee since 1960. He will be remembered as
the 'Gate Man', but he gave a helping hand wherever it was
needed, and his death was a great loss to the Association.
Alan Gilbrook first joined the Carnival Committee in 1964;
later he sat as Chairman for two years and for the past
four years has been a Vice-President of the Association,
It is his dulcet tones that can usually be heard over the
public address system during Carnival. Alan's wife,
Phyllis, has also been a Member for over five years.
Jim Donoghue joined the Committee in 1965, and has an
unbroken service record of 15 years, and Tony Eggar has an
unbroken record of 11 years. Dick Stutley joined the
Carnival Association in 1969 and his wife Sylvia joined in
1971; both have been in the Association ever since.
Mistress of the Robes Pauline Vickery has been dressing
the Carnival Royalty for ten years now.
At the risk of omitting someone, I should like to mention
some past members who all served for over ten years.
Arthur Neville, Waiter Wilson and Eric Gilks all
contributed greatly during their long years on past
Carnival Committees.
Roger Booth, Eric Heanes and Malcolm Lloyd joined the
Association in 1974 but -had Carnival connections before
that! The rest of the current Carnival Association are
relative newcomers compared to what has gone before, but
this in no way detracts from the hard work and time given
by them. All Committee Members, past and present, perform
their labours completely voluntarily and ask for nothing
more than that YOU - the Public'-
continue to support YOUR Carnival in every way possible,
so that we may look forward to the year when we celebrate
50 years of Carnival! |
