Carnival cash handed out in Verwood
THE Verwood Carnival Committee has just handed out cheques totalling £1,200 to deserving local groups and good causes.
Chairman Adrian Read said the committee always gives priority to those groups that participate and help make the carnival a success.
He also said the committee were determined to continue despite the poor level of float entries in the procession.
He is encouraging all local schools and clubs to have a go at a float next year, adding that there are cash prizes to be won for the best entries.
The committee is also looking for new members with new ideas willing to help out with the carnival next year.
