The theme for this year will be “the last night of the proms” and will include all the favourites like Jerusalem, Pomp & Circumstance and many more, with Trelawney as the grand finale. With St Pinnock Brass Band and Polperro Fisherman’s Choir performing popular music, the church is sure to be full, so arrive early if you don't want to be left standing. Adrian Wilton will again be our Concert Compere, who will no doubt keep us all amused as he has done in previous years. Entry is free, but flags & bowlers will be available to purchase to add to the atmosphere. Much fun will also be had afterwards in the Kings Arms where you will be able to participate in some informal singing with members of the Choir. |

Carnival Parade
Led by the Mayor, Rotary President and Town Band, the parade will start from the King George V Playing Field and then follow Liddicoat Road (A390) to Fore Street, down around the Parade and up North Street, down Fore Street again, over the bridge and rail crossing, and finally up the hill to the Earl of Chatham. After assembling in the Chatham car park, the Rotary Club president will present prizes to those entrants judged to be best in their class. Sadly, there will be no fireworks this year and carnival will formally end at the end of the presentations. However, live music and entertainment will be provided by pubs and clubs all around the town, so call in at your favourite hostilery and enjoy the rest of the evening. Sadly, the cost of putting on carnival each year continues to escalate and so we ask that no other organisation tries to raise money during this day. The bucket collection that accompanies the parade is there to help support this and future carnival events. Sunday's Charity Fete Day is the appropriate time for other organisations to raise money during carnival. |
