…but there is still time to enter
this year’s Kenilworth Carnival - the
closing date is Wednesday 1st July in the walking category.
But how do you enter? I hear you
cry…
Here’s how:
Step 1:
Get a group of silly people
together (and 1 bossy one)
Step 2:
Meet up, have some tea and
biscuits or a beer and BBQ, come up with some ideas (for the carnival, not
food!), and then…
Option 1: argue until the boss
tells you what you’re doing.
Option 2: vote on ideas and democratically
agree on that year’s theme
Step 3:
Fill it in, and conduct a risk
assessment
Step 4:
Have a few meetings / socials /
rehearsals (depending on your theme)
Have lots of FUN
Step 5:
Make some props and costumes
Have lots of FUN
Step 6:
Walkers – get ready and practice
walking in your costumes and carrying your props
Floats – decide who is going to
‘install’ your float, safety barriers etc and where the money is going to be
collected
Have lots of FUN
Step 7:
Try and get the lorry delivered
the night before or really really really early on the day
Have lots of FUN
Have a chippy tea on the lorry
(if it’s the night before)
Step 8:
THE DAY
Get up ridiculously early
Get a member of your group to
make bacon sandwiches!
The whole time, feeling as though
we have all the time in the world… oooh I want ketchup on mine!!
Then - all hands to the decks
while the lorry comes together… have lots and lots of FUN!
Get into costumes, have make-up
applied and then…
…everybody run around screaming
at each other in a blind panic because you don’t think you’ll get to the Brays
in time – AAAARRRRGH! It’s far too early!
Why can’t it be 2pm like it used
to be!!!!!
And then, calmly get to the Brays
performing as you ‘sail’ past the judges in all your glory….
