LETTERS – Well done to carnival committee

I am writing to congratulate the Pinchbeck Carnival Committee for the Carnival Cabaret; an evening of entertainment which I enjoyed last Friday (March 29).

The acts were varied and professional and all the Royalty contestants were delightful.

I must particularly thank the organiser, John Pailing, who brought the whole show together. Thanks also go to the compere, Jeff Woods, who introduced the acts and put the contestants at ease, making what could have been a nerve-racking experience, a warm, welcoming one.

Thanks also to: Alan and Debbie on the tech desk, the team who manned the door, the Royalty organisers, raffle ticket sellers, helpers on the bar, and curtain-pullers!

A final thank you must go to the judges, who had three tricky decisions to make when judging Queen, Princes and Princesses.

As usual in Pinchbeck, everyone came together to make this an excellent family night.

We now look forward to the Carnival weekend in June and the Carnival and parade itself on June 8.

I am proud to be a very small part of this organisation and to have been able to help fund the Carnival arena act, with my fellow councillors (James Avery and Elizabeth Sneath) from our designated budgets.

The Carnival is one of the highlights of the year; roll on June!

Sally Slade
South Holland district councillor
