Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (16th Feb 2009 - 20:58:33) Well folks, the date has been set for this year's Fun Day and it is Sunday 28th June. We will be repeating the same format as last year, so anyone who would like to join our merry band of organisers or would like to take part, have a stall etc etc. needs to phone me on 01428 723971 to get more details or to obtain a booking form. We are hoping this year will be as successful as last year and that we can repeat the outstanding feat of raising nearly £3,000 in one afternoon. Best wishes Karen Feeney

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Helen (17th Feb 2009 - 16:57:16) Great news about the Fun Day...looking forward to it! Please can I book a stall for Sweet Peas!

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - May (3rd Mar 2009 - 16:01:31) Good luck with the fun day May :)

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (10th Mar 2009 - 13:44:31) Dear All I know June 28th seems a long way off, but now is the time to call me if you want a stall or wish to get involved with this year's festivities! 01428 723971 is the number you need, I am waiting for your call!! Many thanks Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Helen (21st Mar 2009 - 17:53:39) Just been to my first Fun Day meeting this year and it sounds as if it will be even better than 2008! A shame that there are so few people offering up their time to help organise the event. The people involved work so hard to make it all come together and it would be good to see Karen getting a few more offers of help! Hope some more locals take up the challenge...keep up the good work Karen and the Team!

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen (22nd Mar 2009 - 10:09:56) Thank you for your support Helen and the wonderful work that PRC do to make the Fun Day a success. I am beginning to realise that quality not quantity is the way we see to go, and quite clearly great things can be achieved by a smaller, dedicated team!! However, you are right, it would be nice to have more support, as the Fun Day takes an awful lot of organising and we desperately need help on the stalls on the actual day. Can anyone spare half an hour to help, we run a rota system so you wont get 'stuck' on a stall!!! With the 'Credit Crunch' hanging over us, I am expecting to struggle with Carnival sponsorship this year, so we need the Fun Day to make us even more money . Please come and do your bit for your community....tel: 723971 Regards Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Mani (22nd Mar 2009 - 10:34:15) Karen, I am not sure how I can help with organising the Fun Day, but I am happy to attend the next meeting. Please can you let me know where and when it will take place. Mani

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - gary renouf (16th Apr 2009 - 19:47:08) Hello Karen , Will the crafts be in the hall as in 2008 ? If so I can bring my lathe along and do some turning throughout the day. Regards Gary

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - James (17th Apr 2009 - 12:11:46) Karen, We would love to get involved with the Carnival Fun Day. Please feel free to drop us an email and we can discuss what we can do for you. All the best, James (Signature Event Technologies) set.south@ymail.com

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (18th Apr 2009 - 17:02:15) Gary I have already spoken to Ben regarding the possibility of the Producers Market setting up camp in the Millennium Hall on Carnival Fun Day so definitely yes there will be a space for you and we would love you to come along and join us. I will speak to Ben to find out how many other Producers Market folks want to come along aswell. James - will email you today - have been away for the week so apologise for not responding sooner. Best regards Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - gary renouf (19th Apr 2009 - 07:36:53) Hello Karen Excellent ,PLease could you put me down on the list Thanks GAry

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen (29th Apr 2009 - 14:51:23) We are now taking bookings for stalls and attractions for this year’s Fun Day which takes place on Sunday 28th June. The event, which is held on the Village Green and in the Millennium Hall, will run from 11am – 4pm. You can download a stall booking form by clicking here The first Fun Day, which we held last year, was a huge success with several hundred people coming along and enjoying the array of entertainment which was provided by local dance groups, fantastic band (who are booked to come back this year!) the delicious Links BBQ and Bar plus a whole host of stalls for adults and children alike. The whole purpose of the event is to raise funds to stage the Carnival so we hope you will put the date in your diary and come along and enjoy the best that Liphook has to offer again this year. Keep an eye on this website for more information as we confirm bookings and attractions in the coming weeks.

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (10th Jun 2009 - 17:53:39) Dear All Just to let you know that we are pretty much fully booked for the Fun Day and it is going to be a fabulous event. Lots to do for both children and adults including a Petting Farm, Fun Fair, Liphook Modellers Club Ride on Train, Band, Links Bar and BBQ, BLACS fun craft room plus lots and lots of stalls and other attractions. Tell everyone you know and put the date in your diary, 28th June from 11am - 4pm on the Village Green and in the Millennium Hall. See you all on the day. Regards Karen F

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Finchie (11th Jun 2009 - 17:14:12) Count me in ! Is that normal petting or heavy petting ? Either way I am there ! Cheers, Finchie

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (12th Jun 2009 - 00:37:27) Finchie I knew it. I knew someone would pick up on that - should have known it would have been you!!! See you on the Fun Day! Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (15th Jun 2009 - 18:03:07) Dear All Final preparations are now in full swing and we are at the point where we are trying to put together a rota for some of the stalls that we have. If anyone feels they could donate half an hour of their time on the day to help I would be very pleased to hear from you. It would only be half an hour and just think how good you would feel being part of the day and helping us raise money for the Carnival. Give me a call if you are interested - 723971. Many thanks Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Kevin Feeney (25th Jun 2009 - 13:26:27) Good luck Karen and team, if this year's event is anything like as good as last year it will be fantastic, and judging by the amount of work that you have put in for the past few months it cannot fail. All that remains is for the people of Liphook and their friends to come out and support the event that is a credit you and your team. Let's hope the sun keeps shining.... Kx

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Finchie (25th Jun 2009 - 22:23:06) Kevin, Buy Karen flowers as a thank you, and talk to her - don;t post, she is in the same house man ! However I do agree - she is a star. Next you'll be emailing here for permission to go drinking !! (Actually not a bad idea - I usually text). Seriously though, I am looking forward to it - I will be there watching the petting come rain or 'shine. Cheers, Finchie

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Mike Grimes (25th Jun 2009 - 23:42:22) Finchie, Watching the petting? Perhaps you had better bring your mac, come rain or shine! See you on Sunday.

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Sue w (26th Jun 2009 - 00:01:24) I think its great that Karen’s husband posts about the work she puts in. All to often people take for granted the work others do for the community, after all he will know first hand the commitment and time it takes - he probably has to put up with an awful lot, when phone calls, bookings, etc happen right at the wrong moment - I suspect he is left to dish up dinner for a family while Karen is busy organising something. I know, it has happened in our own household too!

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (26th Jun 2009 - 08:22:03) Actually Mr Feeney lives in Jersey from Monday to Friday (thanks to the lack of jobs in UK) so Mrs Feeney does all the food dishing up and child care herself in between phones calls, emails and texts about Fun Day! Haven't spoken to Mr Feeney properly for about three months now so did appreciate his comments on this site!! See you on Sunday - and the weather IS GOING TO BE OK, isn't it???? Finchie, see you at the petting farm...

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Steve Read (26th Jun 2009 - 20:57:35) Just a quick line to wish Karen and the team success for Sunday. I'am double booked but will try to get up early afternoon if I can escape, not sure yet wether to tunnel out or attempt a launch over the wire. Finchie, your obviously a master at this, any suggestions!

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - P Weyland (27th Jun 2009 - 19:50:32) I and the family Weyland will be there. I love the way Liphook 'does things in style'; such a sense of community.

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Karen F (27th Jun 2009 - 21:39:06) Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Having spent the last few weeks worrying about rain, now we have a mini heat wave predicted, so don't forget your sun cream! Karen

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Alison Wilkinson (28th Jun 2009 - 19:13:23) What a brilliant day! Karen you did an AMAZING job organising it - Thanks to you and your committee we have had a wonderful day. Lets hope lots and lots of money was raised.

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Finchie (29th Jun 2009 - 08:13:48) One word - OUSTANDING. Karen - fantastic work to you and all involved. Listening to the band at luchtime, I'm sure that was how Glastonbury started ?!! I can see it now Feenybury, Glastonhook or maybe just the Liphook Festival ...!? Sadly, overindulgence the day before prevented me from even thinking about petting, drinking the beer or having the food but young son had a go on everything and went home absolutely delighted with a huge grin ! Cheers, Finchie

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Ben Lawrance (29th Jun 2009 - 18:19:15) Without wishing to thread hijack, the suggestion of a Liphook Festival is something that has already crossed my mind.

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - Sumi Olson (2nd Jul 2009 - 10:32:58) May I also add my family's thanks to Karen, the Carnval Committee and all those manning the stalls & running events last week. It was a wonderful sight to come onto the Green and see so many stands and people milling around in the sunshine! It made me really proud of our village and our community life. I really appreciate the effort you all put in to make it such an enjoyable day and I hope you made LOADS OF MONEY! thanks again, Sumi

Re: Carnival Fun Day 2009 - helen m (2nd Jul 2009 - 22:37:20) thanks karen for all your hard work - we had a great day face painting and hope the kids (and adults!!) who came to see us enjoyed it too!! helen (and bonnie). ps. looking forward to next year already! give us a shout when you would like help organising next year!!!
