Carnival in Bovey Tracey has been going on for many, many years. The carnival calendar now includes many events such as Picnic in the Park, Grand Summer Fete, Car Quest, Procession, as well as our Christmas events such as the Christmas Market and Festive Drive By. These events are organised by a very small team of volunteers all of whom have busy lives away from carnival.
Our Carnival Consists of 5 Key positions, the officers : Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer & Safety Officer. Of course, this number is to be made up with a number of additional committee members, volunteers, friends of committee, helpers, sponsors and other workers.
Our current Chairman is : Ulli Arnold. Ulli lives within Bovey Tracey and is a local vet. Ulli has been chairman since 2019.
Our Vice-Chair is Sean Farmer.
Our Treasurer is: Kaye Turner who took over at AGM 2023.
Our Secretary role is Rachael Rockett - Rachael is a committee member who originally stepped up to take over on a temporary basis, but has now taken the role on full time. Rachael manages & minutes meetings; arranges stall bookings; organises sponsorship and sending the appropriate paperwork for the rest of the committee.
Our Safety Officer is Dan Rockett.
We are always looking for new members - if you can help fix up the float; assist with marshalling or be office based. We appreciate any support we can get with any part of carnival. Please contact us if you can help or get involved in any way.
