This is the same reply that I made to the post from Captain Squiffy about me, sunnyd (Nikkie), being made a moderator on the forum.
But I also thought that the same post could be made here under 'Calis Carnival' as I attended the carnival meeting....
The meeting was a great insight to
ALL of the hard work that the Carnival committee and helpers do!
We can all sit back and enjoy the build up to, the week of, and the main event being.. the Calis Carnival. And then (!!) comment on the experience!...
BUT to actually be there, to plan, and DO IT, is a different story, as I personally found out today!
There is
A LOT... and I mean
A LOT!! of hard work and personal sacrifice that goes in to every aspect of the Carnival.
They have a great committee, fundraising and sponsorship network... but the residents of Calis, Turkish, British and European alike should get involved in someway
