Job Vacancies!

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 later, and we’ll be able to crack on with more stuff, knowing that you’re there to help.

There’s a whole list of other jobs that we need help with, so if there’s nothing on the list that you’re able to help with, drop us a line!  As you can imagine, the Carnival and Sports Day alone take months and months of planning, organising and a little hard graft – and we would honestly LOVE your help, however you’re able to help us.

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.)

Lining Up in the Sun!

Whilst the Carnival is absolutely fabulous and it may feel like magic, it certainly doesn’t happen by accident.  The guys have been out in the blazing 30 degree sunshine getting the Sports Field on Benwick Road ready for the races on Saturday, but which shows dedication and effort! The weather forecast has changed ever so slightly for the weekend, but like Ernie here, you might still want to wear your hat!! Incidentally, we’d like to give Ernie a big shout-out and say thank you from us all for helping get the running track looking on top form for the weekend. Top man.

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 .
