Photograph Competition!

  • Are you the next accidental David Bailey?
  • Can you take a fantastic photo on Carnival day?
  • Check your phone snaps – you could be the winner!

DSCN0447

We’re looking for the best photo taken on the Saturday 1st July 2017, and one that fully shows the day off to it’s best.

You may not be the best ‘technical’ photographer, nor have the best camera equipment, but we all know that sometimes those accidental snaps are the best.  You know, those phone or snappy-cam shots when you weren’t trying to take the perfect picture.

The prize for this year’s Photograph Competition, has been generously donated by the Wimblington Photography Society, and is as follows:

A FULL COMPLIMENTORY SEASON MEMBERSHIP
to the Wimblington Photography Society

There are two winners places available:

  • The Public’s Choice
  • The Expert’s Choice

All photography submitted will go onto the website, allowing the public to vote for their preferred photograph, but the folks at the Wimblington Photography Society will chose the Expert’s Choice, where they’re looking for all the hallmarks of a winning photo.

Full details are available on our website, which is at www.doddingtoncarnival.co.uk.

We look forward to you entering! Good luck!

Job Vacancies!

By
Every year, we’re always asked if there are any jobs that people can chip in to help us with, and each year – jobs like helping out on the day of the carnival, helping to set-up the field, or to take it all down again.  In our Carnival Committee meetings, we always talk about getting a Jobs List up on the website ahead of time, and each year, we don’t get around to do it. It’s not that we’re forgetful, or don’t care about it – we do. It’s just that with busy working lives, children and other ‘life stuff’, it gets… prioritised… at the bottom of the list!  But now, we’ve done it!  We’ve started a Jobs List on the Doddington Carnival website where you can check-out what help we need and throw your name into the ring to help!We’ve got the Race Night with a Twist coming up very soon, and there’s a job or two on there already for that (but there will be more!!) and then we’re into the preparations for the big events in July!So please, have a look! Get in touch, ideally sooner rather than la…

Behind the Scenes: “The Doddington Stories”

By
Bit of behind the scenes website work-in-progress for you? Ok.So, I wanted to make a bit of a ‘thing’ about the Trophies, Shields and Awards that we hand out each year, and wanted them all to appear on the website.
All Awards that we give out to the Winners and Runner-ups on Doddington Village Sports and Carnival.At present, we list the various awards and their respective winners, but I wanted to have a little extra … something for each one.So, just as we were setting up for the Awards Presentation evening, in September 2008, I took my camera along to the Village Hall, and took the opportunity to photograph (to the best of my ability!!) each and every Award.I used one of those fabric-based pop-up studio-style photo boxes, (bit like this one  =>) such that the background on each trophy was white and therefore easier to use on the website. However, as I might have hinted at, I’m not a photographer and far from knowing what I’m doing with a photo studio!  Either way, I took about a hun…

Race Night With a Twist!

By
The Doddington Village Sports and Carnival’s first (ever!) Race Night With a Twist has come and gone!We had a great evening of entertainment, betting and posing with hobby horses!Everyone who came had a thoroughbred of an evening, leaving some guests a little ‘horse’!Here’s a few of the photos that we’ve taken on the evening, where you can see the ‘Jockeys’ lined up on the game board, awaiting the roll of the fateful dice.  We’re hoping to stage another Race Night With a Twist, as it really was one that ran away with us!To add to everything, all ‘Jockeys’ in all races were given a free gift of a t-shirt, courtesy of Sewlo Embroidery, based in Doddington.All in all, a brilliant evening, thanks to everyone that came along, as well as to everyone that helped to get it up and running. Fantastic effort.
