Carnival on Saturday 14 June

The Schools of Chesham Carnival is on Saturday 14 June and the procession can be seen from 11.30am-ish to about 1 or 1.30pm. Jane Vann tells us how progress is underway. Brushwood, Chartridge, Chesham Bois, Elmtree, Hawridge & Cholesbury, Little Spring, Newtown, Thomas Harding and Waterside schools are finishing their floats for the procession through the town. The route is from Asheridge Road, along Bellingdon Road and the High Street. Afterwards people can enjoy an afternoon of fun in Lowndes Park. There will be inflatables, an obstacle course and if you still feel bouncy you can have a go on the trampolines. There will be tombolas and bric-a-brac stalls. Phoenix Trading will sell cards and wrapping paper, Endeavour Nursery selling plants and hanging baskets: Chesham & District Amateur Radio Society, and a Chesham In Bloom working group scarecrow competition. Chesham Community Responders will offer a somewhat incongruous combination of tile painting and bandage wrapping, Chesham Youth Council will organize activities and interactive games and 3rd Chesham Scouts will run a crockery smash.
Schools of Chesham Carnival run a barbecue of burgers and sausages, a tea and coffee tent, and sandwiches and cakes for sale. An adult tombola offers lots of nice bottles to be won and a children's tombola will have lots of new toys. All money raised at the carnival will go to the nine schools taking part.
