Aberdare carnival, companion dog show, saturday 23 August
« on: August 22, 2008, 10:39:52 AM »
Don't have many details yet other than its at Aberdare Park (Aberdare isn't that big so no doubt not difficult to miss really).

Four paws are going to be there with a stall if you'd like to come along and say hello and we may have Alfie our liver worker with us as well if you'd like to meet him instead

Updated with details from Wales online:

The park gates will open at 10.30am and the event is free. All proceeds from the carnival will go to Cancer Research UK.

Judging of the parade will take place in the park at 12.30pm so make sure you are there early to register.

The parade will leave Aberdare Park at 1pm for its usual route into town, led by The Melton Mowbray Toy Soldiers Marching Band.

Anyone wanting to enter the parade can pick up an entry form from the Cancer Research shop in Commercial Street.

You can also request a form by e-mail from the organisers.

There will be lots to see and do at the park with displays in the main arena by The Kangaroos Gymnastics Display Team, Rockwood Dog Display Team and the Toy Soldiers Band.

A second arena will be full of local dance schools giving displays throughout the day, organised by Suzie Hopkins Dance School, and a demonstration by The Welsh Kempo Association.

There will be craft and charity stalls, a climbing wall and flight simulator courtesy of Hirwaun Army Cadets and Mountain Ash Air Cadets plus a funfair with rides for all ages.

The organisers are also appealing for volunteer helpers on the day or if anyone would like a stall contact carnival directors Steve Staszewski on 07811 216828 or Jeff Taylor on 07966 787898. The official carnival e-mail address is aberdare-show@hotmail.co.uk


Just seen that our dog trainer is also appearing with his dog display team so it should be a good day out if the weather holds
