Carnival

More attractions have been added to the programme for this year's Helmdon Carnival in August.

The carnival is to take place as other years over the August Bank holiday with the theme of Old School Days.

Attractions are to include majorettes, morris men and the air force cadets band for the procession and to perform in the main ring.

Also, there has been a mail shot to Brackley businesses asking for raffle prizes.

Jeff's coaches have donated a weekend for two in Paris, and the Crown Hotel in Brackley have offered Sunday lunch for two, with other prizes donated from Daytona, Northampton Town Football Club, The Saints Rugby Club and Bath Racecourse.

Live music will be provided by Accrington Stanley for the Saturday night entertainment, and a disco is planned for the kids.

There has been lots of interest in craft stalls for the day.

The main beneficiary of the event is to be Brackley Cottage Hospital.
