They are some very good photos on there, i like photo 48 the most though or is that just because its my brother. The weather was the best we had for a few years and well done to all that organise the carnival

There are indeed, and there are now six more - an early morning study of Bill Ardern as he gets everyone organised to put on such a great show. Unfortunately no amount of Photoshopping will bring back the red colour to that 20 year old sweatshirt. Well done Bill, and well done Gavin Eyquem who took these amusing photos.

That's it for now, unless more submissions arrive later.

There are some cracking images on there.  A great day captured....

And now Arthur Procter's contributions have been added - thank you Arthur - some great shots but you should have warned me to suck the belly in!

We thoroughly enjoyed the procession - it was excellent, and so nice to see some lorries again!  The bands were great too.  Well done everybody, and a big thanks to the weathermen for organising such good weather!  See you next year.

the carnival was good it was nice to see the school Morris dancers maybe it would be an idea if the schools had a inter class competition and then an inter school one on the day well done to all the organizers

Yes it was good to see the school Morris dancers. I know the carnival comittee have struggled again to get Morris dancers to come.It would be good if in the future if the local schools could all put some dancers in. Its good entertainment and makes the procession longer. Many people enjoyed watching them entertain later in the afternoon in the arena. Well Done to them.

Some of my own photos added to the Carnival Album now http://visitmarple.co.uk/photos/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=-91

They're coming in thick and fast now and more will be added as soon as I can.

Ray Noble was first past the line again this year with his photos in my in-box before I got home and they are now on-line in the new 2010 Carnival Album. http://visitmarple.co.uk/photos/thumbnails.php?album=91

It was good to see the sun shine on Bill Ardern's big day and nice that the only thing wet about it was the "Under the Sea" theme. Well done again Carnival Committee members old and new.

I must say a special big thank you to Neil Drogie at Icing on the Cake for the superb cake he made for Friends of Marple Memorial Park - a perfect replica of the Carnival programme, and a work af art!

[Osdog]

Thank you for that... much appreciated.

I've been in touch with the relevant people. Chris Armitt phoned me earlier today.  It's all underway.

I'll be at the carnival on Saturday - got a stall with PD print, and I'll be wandering around with a big camera.  Stop me and buy one.... LOL

Hope to have some prints of Marple to sell on the day.

Hi thank you for the offer of a raffle prize which is fantastic!!!  Could you explain what the raffle prize you are offering consists of so we can describe it accurately  in the list of prizes.  I have also taken the opportunity via your link on the web site to look at your pictures which really are spectacular especially the ones of Marple, where you really do capture it in all its glory.  Once again thank you on behalf of all the members of the carnival committee.  Hope to see you on the day !!!!

This might be a bit late, but only just seen the thread.

I can offer a raffle prize - a photo portrait stitting from Oaktree Photography if that helps... just a thought.

I'm based in Marple Bridge.
