A HUGE thank you to the Chobham Carnival for having us back this year and for yours and the local community's continued support for our dancers! We are incredibly grateful and look forward to coming back next year!
RECORD May Ball proceeds have enabled the carnival association to donate more than it expected – over £5,000 – to good causes.
Non-stop rain on carnival day reduced the event’s takings but this year’s dinner dance in the village hall the previous Saturday raised several thousands of pounds, eclipsing previous years’ profits.
This enabled 20 organisations to receive grants from the association’s 2024 allocation.
“The carnival wasn’t a washout, despite the terrible weather, but there wasn’t a financial surplus,” said association chairman Tim Elwin. “However, the ball was a spectacular success, enabling us to distribute around the usual amount of money.
“We had a record attendance, and some fantastic lots were donated for the auctions. Many generous businesses supported us by giving valuable items to be sold. There were also attractive donations for the raffle.”
The largest good-cause grant, £500, went to Chobham Army Cadets, who help marshal the carnival procession and run the fete’s coconut shy. The money will help fund group activities and outings.
The other grants went to: the recently formed Chobham amateur dramatics group (£320); St Lawrence Friends Heritage Trust (£300); Friends of St Lawrence School (£300): St Lawrence Primary School (£300); Jackanory Pre-school (£300); Chobham Agricultural and Horticultural Society (£300) SV Elite Dance Studios (£300).
Woking High School (£250) Chobham Museum (£250); Chobham Festival (£250) Chobham Parish Council (£250); Chobham Scout Group (£250); Quest Riding for the Disabled (£250); Chobham Care (£250); Friends of Valley End School (£250).
Surrey and Woking District RSPCA (£200); West Byfleet Guides and Brownies £250); Woking and Sam Beare Hospice boutique in Chobham (£100); Chobham Country Market (£50).
For full details of the grants and how the recipients will spend the money, visit www.chobhamcarnival.co.uk.
The association is already starting to plan next year’s carnival, which will be on Monday 5 May. If you have any suggestions for making the event an even better experience, perhaps an idea for the procession theme, email Tim on [email protected]. See you in 2025.
