Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 2016 Wells Carnival. The committee has been very busy planning a funpacked week that we are sure will appeal to all ages and tastes. The committee is confident that whether you are a local or a visitor you are sure to find lots of great entertainment throughout the week. The town has enjoyed a fantastic start to the year – the weather could have been warmer but you can guarantee sunshine in Carnival week. I would like to thank all the local businesses, groups, organisations and individuals for their continuing support, without which the Committee would not be able to put on Carnival Week. There is a page-full of ‘Thanks’ at the end of this programme (page 62) to show our appreciation to everyone who has given time, money, help and support. If we’ve missed anyone off we are sincerely sorry – we couldn’t do it without you! Please support the businesses and groups throughout the week as a thank you for their support. They are all part of the amazing Wells community that punches way above its weight in events and community support. With the refurbishment of The Maltings and the Granary Theatre we have had to change our venue for our inside events. The committee has very kindly been given the use of the Gordon Barrett Memorial Hall and side lawn, where you will see a marquee ready to welcome visitors to the events. Live Music will continue on the Buttlands and Recreation Field (Football Field). We advise all dog owners to leave their dogs at home if attending these evening events. The Carnival Committee meets regularly to organise the events on offer this week and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the Committee for their time and effort throughout the year and especially during the week. I would also like to thank their families for being so understanding about the time this has taken and for giving us their support. New for this year, three local lads have joined us to form a Junior Committee and they will be running a tuck shop for The Buttlands, Wells next the Sea Carnival week is great fun, but sometimes we just need a five minute rest to gather ourselves and our thoughts. You are welcome to come and enjoy some peace and quiet in the Roman Catholic church, Our Lady Star of the Sea. Our door is open to all for rest, quietness, contemplation. All are welcome, there are no assumptions and no strings attached. Our house is your house, so come and enjoy. 8 • Wells Carnival 2016 Welcome to Carnival 2016 Wells Churches Carnival funds.

Most events are partly sponsored and the committee is always trying to raise more money to cover the shortfall. Your help is always needed and appreciated. If you see us at an event please pop some money in the buckets, at the merchandising gazebo ‘Donating Station’ or donate on line. Please check the website – www.wellscarnival.co.uk We understand that in the current climate this is not easy but any loose change you can give will be gratefully received. Each year the costs rise for putting on our Carnival; higher insurance, health and safety, storage and so many running costs before the week even starts so if you are able to make any donation it is very greatly appreciated. The money collected before, during and after the week will go towards these running costs. All the money collected on Carnival Day during the parade will be donated to local charities and good causes at our AGM. Please give generously whenever you see a pink bucket. Many thanks to the Holkham Estate for overseeing additional parking on the Pitch & Putt area off Beach Road at this busy time. Holkham has also kindly offered to donate the proceeds from this car park to Carnival funds. I hope you have a great week and enjoy all the events. See you there!
