The reason the parade is on Sunday is because Stagecoach will not allow their buses to be disrupted on a Saturday (don't ask me why). And as Jim pointed out it is an illuminated parade so need to hold it at that time. I disagree that it won't be much of a success, I think it's going to be wonderful, a real tribute to all the hard work the committee have put in. But at the end of the day a carnival is only as successful as the amount of people who come out to see it so please spread the word and join us.
Confirmation of the other courts attending, we will have the pleasure of:
Herne Bay
Faversham
Sittingbourne
Teynham
Sandwich
Hornsey
Sheppy
Margate
Stanford & Corringham
Possibly:
Ramsgate
Basildon
Whitstable
We've also got the Hawkinge Flyers and as has already been mentioned the ATC and the Western Heights preservation society.
We invited the most delightful troop who dress up and have a clown car and a motor tricycle where the driver dresses up as a skeleton and they were very keen to attend.
Should we just have those I've just mentioned it should be a stonking parade.
