Kenilworth Carnival, 2013

Tickling your funny bone since 2010...

This year’s Carnival was on Saturday July 6^th 2013, and what an excellent and hot day!
This year we entered as pretty much what we are – a bunch of clowns!

The Chinewrde Clown Company LTD have been “Tickling your funny bone since 2010”. They are a group of clowns available to hire for functions such as Children’s parties, festivals, Carnival’s, Weddings and Funerals.

Group shot, complete with driver!

Each of the clowns specialise in a variety of tricks for example plate spinning, bat juggling, telling jokes and hula hooping.

As part of this year’s Kenilworth Carnival Relief, we were on a mission to take the red nose back – Kenilworth Carnival is the new red nose day!

The clowns working the crowds on the big day were:

Barry - The DIY clown, specializing in juggling special brew can’s, catapulting, and general carpentry.

That's a sheet of a different colour!

Kenilworth Carnival 2013

We have had our final meeting, we have sourced our costumes, we had ordered our make-up… we are in the process of sourcing and making our props… we are dyeing the sheets (again!)…. And we have a final track list to our soundtrack – Kenilworth Carnival 2013 here we come.

After a sombre look back at our entry last year, we have returned to our manifesto, and we are bigger, better and slightly more left field – again! The crowds are in for a treat… there’s no pink this year!

If you follow us on twitter, you will be aware of the breadcrumb like clues that have been dropped along the way…
No pink
Dyeing sheets
Animals include 1 monkey, 1 elephant and 1 alligator
Orange balls
Bubbles – lots of
Lots of hot air
A walking stick
And of course there is a character called Barry (but it's not last year’s corgi).

This year’s carnival is Saturday 6^th July, and the procession starts at 1pm, so get your places ready for a bit of a boogie and start donating lots of coppers to an excellent and important cause – Kenilworth Carnival.

Hope the Morris Dancers will be partaking this year – it’s not the same without them!
