Bunting Up!
16th June 2019
Traffic patrol: We need four people to help us in controlling the traffic whilst the Carnival Committee are working on the telehoist to put the bunting up throughout the village. This simply involves standing at key points along the route, and using hand-signals to help safely control traffic whilst we work. We try to get out into the village just after 7am, so that the traffic is minimal, and aim to be complete by about 11:00. If you're able to help even for an hour or two, that would be great.
Sports Field Preparations
5th/6th July 2019
Fence Pegs: We need about four people to help us to peg-out the various rope lines that we have on the field, such as along the footpath, around the parking area and around the cricket square. The Committee team are normally busy on the field all day Friday and Saturday trying to get ready, but any time you can spare is much appreciated for this heavy work.
Carnival
6th July 2019
Parade Marshalls: We need about six people to help us in walking alongside the carnival parade through the village, helping to make sure that the public are at a safe distance. The parade starts around 10am, but we need to go through a quick safety briefing with you first. Job is done when the parade makes it safely back to The Three Tuns, which should be about 11:30ish.
Parade Collectors: We need about eight people to help us in walking along the pavement with the carnival parade, helping to collect donations. The parade starts around 10am, but we need to go through a few details beforehand. Job is done when the parade makes it safely back to The Three Tuns, which should be about 12:00ish.
50/50 Draw: We need one person to help us sell raffle tickets in the 50/50 prize draw for the run-up to, and during, the Carnival procession/parade; this would be based at The Three Tuns. Ideally, you'd sell as many tickets as you're able to, but any help you can offer is appreciated.
Sports Day
6th July 2019
Marquees: We've got TWO marquees this year for the Sports Field and need about six people that can help us to put UP and take DOWN the marquees. Previous experience not required, just need people to lift when asked!
Ice-cream Stand: We need two people to help us run our renowned ice-cream stall. Public are able to acess the field from 1:30pm through until 4:30-ish, and hopefully you'll sell as much ice-cream as we can pack into the freezer!
50/50 Draw: We need one person to help us sell raffle tickets in the 50/50 prize draw on the Sports Field. The public are able to come onto the field from 1:30pm, through to until about 4:30pm-ish. Ideally, you'd sell as many tickets as you're able to, but any help is appreciated.
Entrance Stands: We need about three people to help at the entrance gates on the sports fields - our aim is to cycle people around, such that no-one is bored at any one station, but such that everyone gets to be involved. The public are able to come onto the field from 1:30pm, through to until about 4:30pm-ish. Any time you can help, even an hour or two is greatly appreciated.
Packing-up: We'd accept as much help as available for the packing up the Sports Field - there are lots of things to collect, lift and carry from the day's events, but also packing away, cleaning up, and generally helping to muck in. This starts at 4:30pm and usually takes about a couple of hours with everyone chipping in.
Bunting Down!
7th July 2019
Traffic patrol: We need four people to help us in controlling the traffic whilst the Carnival Committee are working on the telehoist to bring the bunting down from around the village. This simply involves standing at key points along the route, and using hand-signals to help safely control traffic whilst we work. We try to get out into the village just after 8am, so that the traffic is minimal, and aim to be complete by about 11:00. If you're able to help even for an hour or two, that would be great.
