Thank You Very Much!
There's an awful lot of hard work involved in running Sandown Carnival. A core committee of around 16 members co-ordinate the activities of literally scores of volunteers, helpers, suppliers and other interested parties which results in a self-funding series of spectacular events throughout the year.
This page is to recognise those external parties who make a big difference to Sandown Carnival. It's our way of saying THANK YOU publicly for all your help and support. We couldn't do it without you!
