Carnival 2004 - Fantasy
Grand Draw
Once again my grateful thanks go to all the Sponsors for their donations and continued support for the Grand Draw; to my team, Norman, Deirdrea, Gaynor and Ellie for braving the elements this year and not shutting up 'shop'; to all those people who so willingly(!) sold tickets, and of course to everyone who bought.

Rome Weekend
The winners of the weekend in Rome have kindly sent us the following...
On 6th November, very early in the morning, my daughter, Jane and I set off for a very excitable weekend in Rome – the first prize in the Eaton Bray carnival draw.
After a very easy journey from Stanstead we arrived in Rome at 12 noon. Our very comfortable hotel was in the city centre, so after unpacking, we set about sightseeing. The amazing Coliseum and Trevi fountain were within walking distance. Next day we caught a bus to tour other famous landmarks. The most exciting proved to be the Vatican City when the Pope came out to give his weekly blessing. We climbed to the top of St. Peter’s to view Rome – Wonderful! I just had to have photograph to prove that I had climbed 400 odd steps to get there. Quite an achievement for a 73 year old!
We saw so much in such a short time. It was soon Monday, and after some ‘retail therapy’ we made our way back to the airport and home. It was a wonderful weekend and a most generous first prize.
So thank you so much to the Carnival Committee that organised it. If you are going to the Carnival this year, buy a raffle ticket – you might just be a lucky winner.
