Croft Carnival
1st July 2017

As usual, meet up at the Croft Memorial Hall, ready to filter in to the floats as they arrive


Get there early to get parking, so a bit of standing around


Joining the procession, well away from the piped band and the New Orleans type band
We walk when no crowd lining the road


Quick figure from something, so as not to hold up the procession too much


All this is driving us round the bend


A bit of Winster down the road - to the adulation of the assembled throng


Another corner stop


One of the scarecrows on the procession route - see more


We are joined by a volunteer Hobby Horse with an inflated personality


Arriving on the Carnival field


Enter the team, though not to the requested tune


Rick and Andrew do some grand Stepping, and very Fetching it is, too


The roundy bit of the dance 


Malcolm and Bill ready the sticks for the next dance
Pierre and Del concentrate on current dance 
Jasper is distracted - probably by some young lady in the committee tent


Andrew photo bombs the musicians photo


Roundy bit (on this occasion it's a ring) with sticks


Big finish to "Ring o'Bells"
