The theme for the 2005 Carnival is Post War Britain and the Fifties. This gives
everyone a lot of things to choose from not just from the wartime era but including the
Rock and Roll that was so popular in the 50s. This is also the 55thCarnival to
be held in Brightlingsea and it would be good to see it one of the best.
For this year we will be raising money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, all
money from the Grand Draw will be donated along with money from the street collection. We
would like to hear from anyone who would like to join us for the procession, you need not
be using a vehicle as we have many people who walk in fancy dress, the route is not long,
just under two miles.
To help us round the route we will have the local Church Lads Brigade Band, and from
Hockley the Royal British Legion Pipe Band.
We are hoping for a collection of military vehicles and a dozen or so Morgan Sports cars.
