DELABOLE Carnival Week was pronounced a resounding success last weekend by members of the public and the committee alike.

Despite the unseasonable weather in the weeks leading up to the event and for the first few days of carnival week, only one event, the Classic & Vintage Vehicle show, had to be cancelled (to protect the playing field), and the week ended in glorious sunshine with a fantastic carnival procession on Saturday evening.

The wet weather caused a few problems in setting up the field, but with some very welcome financial assistance from Delabole Charity Shop, the committee were able to hire some temporary roadway to enable siting of toilets etc.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, please see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
