My family and I were excited to take part in Saturday’s carnival procession. Many thanks are to be given to the sponsors, local businesses and individuals who have supported DOCA either through sponsorship, lending of equipment or services.

Special thanks must go to the volunteers and committee members who have given so much time and energy to make Devizes carnival the success it is today. Thank you to all members of the community, young and old, who take part in the procession, enabling the townspeople to enjoy the spectacular finale of the fortnight.

Finally, a thank you to Paul from Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum, and to Franklin Richmond for arranging my outriders, Dave and Mal.

Sarah Bridewell, Mayor of Devizes.
