"Tell Us a Story"

All the detailed information you need will be available on our website shortly, including:

• the Carnival Procession information sheet

• the Carnival Procession entry form

• a Health & Safety leaflet

When is the Carnival Procession?

Sunday July 20 at 4.00pm.  You will need to be in position by 3pm.

Why take part?

It’s a lot of fun!  The Carnival is an important part of the Tavistock Calendar.  It is a great opportunity to showcase your group or good cause and, if you have a business, great publicity! 

What are the arrangements?

The timings are all aimed at the procession entering Whitchurch Road at 4pm.  To achieve this all entrants must be assembled by 3pm when judging will start.  It will be completed so  that the front of the procession can start to move from the top of Down Road at 3.45pm.  You need to be assembled for the start of judging, but not much earlier. Of course, if you don’t want to be judged, you can take up your position later but by 3.15pm at the latest.

Other things to consider:

Music is always a key element of the procession and we always encourage as many of you as possible to include this. When you send in your Entry Form, we ask that you let us know if music is part of your entry as this will help us when we assemble the running order of the procession.  Please make it as lively and loud as possible.

Our aim continues to be to make the procession a Fun Event for the people taking part, and for the people watching.  Please encourage as many people as possible to come along, and visit us at on Facebook (www.facebook.com/LionsClubOfTavistock).  We appreciate your enthusiastic support and we are looking forward to a great event.
