Re: Accrington Carnival

I shall not be attending another it was very poor the floats had hardly any effort put in to them nothing like when I was younger and they had paper flowers all over the alloys and were really well decorated the only float that got my attention was the 107 The Bee float and that wasn't as good as the old standards. Roads weren't closed till last minute no one at bottom of Whalley Road stopping traffic was very poorly organised. Not enough people and not enough variation in the procession more or less all floats or cheerleaders nothing like the good old days where you got carrier bags handed out full of bits and pieces like pens stickers etc that made the kids happy and the odd float throwing sweets in to the crowd and kelloggs cereal boxes thats what carnivals should be like enjoyable. As for the fair it was good but I think to charge £2.00 for big rides is a good deal but then to also charge £2.00 for baby rides is a joke think next year needs planning in advance and more effort puttin in to it
