Our Thanks go to all those who took part
The 25th June this year saw the re-staging of the North Camp Carnival, after a
break of some 4 years. Judging by the turnout, number of floats and attendance,
this is sure to be a regular feature in the North Camp Diary in the future
The day started with a float procession which marched through the town and into
the Arena in the Queens Road Recreation Park
The Mayor and Mayoress of Rushmoor inspected and judged the floats, and lo
and behold, The Farnborough Branch of the Royal British Legion came
Runners-Up winning a £30 prize
The Branch was supported by members of the Army Cadet Force and Students
from the Military Preparation College, and between them they managed to raise
£86.74 for the Poppy Appeal Fund, plus our £30 prize, making a total of £116.74
