i have had a reply form the orghaniser from the carnival please please please! give me some pointers or anything!! you want to jump arouns on after the parade cos hopefull it might bable to get sorted ie POSS crash mates etc if i ask nicely

heres the e-mail lemme knwo what you think

Hi Hannah,

thanks for getting back to me and also posting the information on the forum. I found it last week when I did a carnival google!

Great news that there will be 10 of you. What a breath taking sight that will be.

So the event starts in Christchurch Park at 12noon and carries on until 6pm.

The carnival parade will start provisionally at 1.30pm from the New Wolsey Theatre through town to the Cornhill, from there to Northgate Street, where a second parade will come from outside the co-op both groups then walking up to the park via the Soane Street entrance. We estimate it will take 50 minutes, but will walk the route at the end of the month with police etc so will give you a closer timing then.

Have a talk with your group about how far you want to do in the parade, and how much space you will need as a group to walk or bound safely and comfortably. Also do you want to do something particular at the park, how will you promote your group?

I am doing alot of media coverage generating awareness for the event. If you have a high quality image of your group or someone jumping on stilts then do email over and I can put it in with press releases. Also what's your group called?

regards

Blue

What sort of distance is it ?
We did 3.5 mile one and it was really a bit too far $:-\$
There was 10 there and at times we had a gap of over 100m and so down to 20m !?
Has there are a number of types of bocks turning up promoting would be fun !? I had PJ's cards which we handed out to the poeple who really looked like they'd buy

Charlie B · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2008, 08:06:54 AM »

Did not think the Spalding Parade was too difficult, main issues was waiting times as lorries got through the town.

Key thing is the number of bockers, if you have 10ish then some can bounce whilst others rest as bouncing continually will really take it out of you. (I learned that at Shefford !!!)

Distance between vehicles depends on number of bockers. 50is metres seems about right to allow space for people to get into thier stride and provide seperation for those bouncing high.

Also see what the situation is with water, would they supply and allow you to put water on a float near you.

It wasn't too bad just I think we all stop bouncing that much by the end of 3.5 miles !
Pacing did muck us about a bit but I don't think this parade will have the same float problem !?

This sounds like a great opportunity for you guys, make sure you find a good photo to go in the press release she was offering.

Mini Ellis · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2008, 04:27:46 PM »

greg that has nothing to do with the carnival you moron =]

yea but i am always looking for more people to come too so we can have as many as possible that would be great, yes i have some cards which i will dig out but i feel this will be a great event to do as afterwards theirs a cirus type of thing at the park and i could see about getting crash mats or things to jump off/onto

How so? The organiser asked for a photograph, and Greg said he could take one with his sister's camera. Sounds relevant to me.
