There are just 2 days to go to Sat 4th September – the CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES to this year’s Illuminated Procession!

Please click through to the Entry Forms page where you will be able to download the  form that Carnival needs you to sign (so that we in turn can satisfy the emergency planning, insurance and licensing requirements placed on us).

Your help will be much appreciated - Thank You!      

Not a world record but a Yellowhammer record (which is far better)

That famous yellow music box managed to raise £409 for carnival last year. A personal best from its creator Graham Manning.

So lets help him raise even more for the 2010 carnival. Just look out for our Graham during the carnival fortnight. Give him enough money and he may let you have a rummage in his cd collection to pick a song for him to play.

We will keep you updated on his whereabouts on our Twitter feed.

That most eagerly anticipated event in the publishing calendar – the arrival on the streets of Pewsey of the 2010 Carnival Programme - is with us.

This year’s volume is once again packed with a huge amount of useful information covering all of September’s events as well as a host of witty and challenging articles for your amusement.

And all for just 1.2 of your British Pounds!    

Details and entry forms for all classes in the Main Procession are available for download on the Entry Forms page here. Print off as many as you like and get them round all your friends!

CLOSING DATE FOR ALL ENTRIES:  Sat 4th Sept 2010

A big thank you to all the teams who took part in Cossors Memorial Treasure Hunt. We couldn’t have wished for a better afternoon. With 15 teams of treasure hunters entering, making it a tough battle for first place.

The route took the treasure hunters around Woodborough, Bottlesford, Hillcott, Rushal, Upavon and Manninngford. Solving clues and anagrams, while picking up pieces of treasure to bring back for bonus points.

Along the route we had teams trading clues or hinting towards the location of the answers. We even had a bit of sabotage involving one member of a team pointing four teams in the wrong direction (Mr Harris we know it was you).

So here are the winners and runners up.

• 1st The Mundy family
• Joint 2nd Peter Lampards Team & The Hasbeens/Party Animals

Thanks to sponsors   NV Spreadbury,  Haskins Garage and Mrs Anne Thorne

Raffle sponsors  Swindon Greyhounds, Mr Giddings and Tesco Tidworth

Also thanks to Micky High for allowing the use of The Coopers Arms field.
