SANTA’S IN DODDINGTON!

The Santa Run has already begun!

Last night, we took Mr Claus out on his sleigh around the village to see the boys and girls! We had music a-playing, lights a-flashing and, rightly or wrongly, we gave Santa a microphone so that you could hear his mighty ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’s from miles! miles! miles! away..!

Lots of people came out to see us, despite the FREEZING temperatures last night, but we’re really glad that you all did.

Tonight, we’re starting out on Wood Street at 5:30pm, and making our way around more of the village, finishing off tomorrow evening. But check out our website for full route details, Santa Tracking and also a LIVE video of our trip out!

100% of the money donated by you in all of our activities go directly to next year’s Carnival and Sports Day. For more information, please check out the ‘Your donations’ section of our website.

Another year done!

Sounds strange to have a title of ‘Another year done!’, given that we’re only part-way through October, but in Carnival-years, we’re now into the planning of the next one! For us, our Annual General Meeting, held earlier this month, marks the end of one year and the start of another, which we’re planning on being even more fantastic than last year. This year. You get it. The committee has a couple of new folks and says goodbye to some others, but by and large, we’re good. The ‘officers’ were re-voted and the same ugly mugs are in the same roles as this time last year, which is good not only from a consistency point of view, but also from the fact that the rest of the team think that things are working well enough to vote them back in. We’ll be unveiling the new theme for the 2018 Carnival very shortly, so that should get people’s thoughts flowing in terms of what to dress up as, or what floats will look like. But first up, is the Santa Run 2017 – we’ve spoken to the Big Man and he...

Disco Time!!

It’s coming up to that time of the year where we need to select the Carnival Prince and Princess during the Family Disco. These young folks are important to the traditions and values of the Carnival, going back donkeys years, and this year is no different. The Family Disco is also exactly as it sounds – a chance for the whole family to come out and boogey-woogey and enjoy themselves on the dancefloor. Applications for the Carnival Prince and Princess Selection are available from the folks in The Three Tuns , Doddington, so why not nip in there and pick up a form as you pass? Alternatively, the forms are available on the Doddington Carnival website . (All details are on the form itself.)
