SHERINGHAM
CARNIVAL 2003 |
| Having received several requests to reinstate the old Pram Race and being unable to do
so for insurance and health & safety reasons, for this years Carnival a new event has
been introduced... A PANTOMIME HORSE RACE! Yes, that's right, panto horses will first of
all parade around the arena and there will be a prize for the best one and after that they
will race from the Car Park Entrance down to the Town Clock. Can you imagine just how
funny that is going to be? We think it will be even funnyer than the old pram race used to
be. |
| We have it on good authority that the famous Mrs B's
Delight, formerly owned by Prince Charming and bought out by: Alistair Deans Lobster
Syndicate is already out training under Peter Taylor. Peter says "he likes the going
good to firm and stands an excellent chance of winning." |

We also know that a few other local hostelries and eateries are entering their own
horses and are determined to win.
The race is open to all Pantomime Horse owners, minimum of two people but no maximum
number, so come on all you out there, get those horses ready and into training.
Gardening enthusiasts are more than welcome to bring their buckets and help clean up
behind the parade and race. |

ANOTHER NEW
EVENT |
| Yet another new event for Carnival 2003 is the Decorated
Umbrella procession which replaces the Torchlight Procession on the final day. Again, due
to insurance and Health & Safety issues, the torchlight procession is unable to go
ahead. Not put off by this, the Carnival Committee decided to have the
decorated umbrella procession instead. All are welcome to enter this colourful parade, it
does not matter how the umbrellas are decorated, they can be lavish or just simply a few
balloons and streamers. Wheelchairs (electric or otherwise) are also invited to take part,
so get your decorating hats on and jazz up a brolly, turn your wheelchair into something
out of this world and enter the fun of the final procession. |
