RosyRat   10 #27 Posted July 7, 2010 So why is the elected MP not bothering to do it? Does he not care about that part of his constituency?  Call up on Saturday afternoon, Slimsid and you'll get to see David Blunkett MP. But not Nick Clegg I'm afraid.

The stalls will be setting up all morning and officially open after the parade but most start trading earlier. They will usually start closing around 4.30 which is the earliest time they can bring their vehicles back into the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Godzilla   10 #32 Posted July 9, 2010 I'm really looking forward to my first visit to the carnival. Where is the best place for visitors to park? I am intending to lend a hand on the Homestart stall for a short period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

julado   10 #35 Posted July 9, 2010 I attended this once.....there was about 6 stalls and a guy selling old wartime badges and stuff.....what a rivetting waste of time.  There is the tramlines festival going on in town tomorrow - and a concert thing in Barkers pool.  Stannington carnival hardly even joins the same league.
