The President’s Thoughts ......
I well recall a meeting in 1974 of the community services committee of the
Rotary club, when we discussed the fact that at the time Ledbury didn’t have
an annual show or carnival. This led to the holding of an open meeting in the
community centre, for the general public, to discuss the format and date on
which to hold any such event. The outcome was that it was agreed to hold a
carnival and show on August Bank Holiday Monday, and it would involve as
many organisations as possible. The selection of a venue for the show ground
itself was discussed, and finally selected was Hazel Meadows, now largely
occupied by commercial enterprises. This format continued successfully for a
number of years until the development of these companies on the site. In
1985 and again in 1986, an alternative field was selected off the Bromyard
road, at Priors Court. But that year turned out to be a very wet year and the
conditions proved to be very ‘challenging’!
After that experience it was agreed to change the format to a street carnival
and contain it within the town, with charities and other organisations making
their own plans within the overall Carnival programme, the first such event
taking place in 1987.
This is still the plan that has been successfully followed every year to date,
but it continues to rely on the enthusiastic involvement of a dedicated group,
who are constantly looking for more help, so that Ledbury will continue to be
able to hold an annual show and carnival for many years to come.
Ken Davies, President.
Thanks to Steve, our Carnival Chairman for keeping the
carnival going for all these year.
You will be sadly missed at the Ledbury Carnival.
From all the Carnival Committee Team.

take care of, we provide them with shelter, either in our kennels or in a foster
home, they receive any veterinary treatment they may need and they stay with us
until a new home is found for them.
