Tavistock Carnival 24th September 2023

Dear Friends

You will remember that the July Tavistock Carnival was rained off and so had to be postponed. The rescheduled one is now on Sunday 24th September. TavyRAIL will be there!

It will be earlier as our nights are drawing in. The judging will start at 2.45pm.

We  need followers and banner holders for this crucial event. Please let me know if you can come.

With all good wishes

Richard Searight
Chair TavyRAIL
