Welcome to Molesey Carnival everybody!
This is the thirty-second Carnival and the first without any of the original members on the organising Committee. Clive Kirk, after over three decades of service has decided it’s time to hang up his white, mole-emblazoned sweat-shirt. It is due to Clive and these original members’ foresight that the Carnival is the huge community event, fund-raiser and all-round feel good day that the people of Molesey know and love so well. Thank you Clive and your compatriots, we are immensely grateful.
I have taken over from Clive as Chair of the excellent, hard working Committee of voluteers, and I hope to keep the standards as high as under the previous incumbent. I am a veteran of thirty Carnivals so far, man and boy, so there really is no excuse!
During the day I encourage you to visit, dig deep and support the colourful stalls of the many local charities ably run by their energetic band of volunteers. In the modern rush it is very easy to forget how great the community of Molesey really is. Carnival day gives us all the opportunity of witnessing this community at its very best!
The event would not be possible without the industrious effort of the Carnival committee, I am sure you will want to join me in thanking them. Without them, quite simply, there would be no Carnival.
Have a fabulous day, support our charities and above all have fun!
Best wishes,
Brian Cameron, Chairman, Molesey Carnival Committee.
