puma, it's planned for every year in the future, but I am not sure of the dates for 2009 onwards. We went to the launch party last night at the Aqua Park. It was well attended by local businesses and the mayor also came and endorsed the event. It seems to be very well organised and there's great plans for the days leading up to the Carnival. All monies raised will be going to local charities, hence we will be giving the event 100% support.
