Shaldon Water Carnival Royal Party 2014
UPDATE - sadly one of our Princesses, Fran Walsh, has resigned from her post and a redraw took place at our committee meeting on 30th April. We are pleased to announce Abigail Hulbert will be joining our Royal Party this year instead.
Following our AGM at the Clipper Cafe (thanks again for hosting it!) the names of our Royal Party were drawn. Congratulations to Emily Cartright our Queen and her attendants Florence Quelvennec and Fran Walsh. Their first "Royal appointment" will be our Spring Fete on Bank Holiday Monday 26th May when Emily will be officially crowned by our retiring queen Jemima Amstad. Thank you to our retiring royal party for being part of our special events and thank you to all the applicants who entered this year.
