This year’s Nuneaton Carnival is being held on Sunday 10th June 2012 and the theme is Britain at it’s Best. Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club took part last year with a charity stall on the gala field. Our stall included a tombola, hook a duck and games such as name the teddy bear. It was a good way to raise funds and awareness of our club. We are considering organising a stall again this year, but to do so, we will need volunteers to come along and help us on the day. If you are interested in helping us on 10th June, please speak to Marie Clarke or email her at marieclarke5@btinternet.com, or via the contact page on here. Thank you!
