Countdown on to Dunvant Carnival


The countdown is on to the annual Dunvant RFC Carnival, which takes place at the rugby club on Saturday, July 2.
One of the highlights of the day will be a ‘Dunvant’s Got Talent’ competition.
And the organisers have put down a challenge to pubs, clubs and teams to take part in the Tug of War competition.
“We really have something for everyone at the carnival,” said one of the organisers, Martin Newbury.
“It’s a real community day and we are looking forward to seeing everyone taking part and enjoying the day.”
The first auditions for ‘Dunvant’s Got Talent’ have already taken place and the grand final will take place on carnival day.
This year, there has also been competition for schoolchildren to design the carnival programme.
Two pupils from Cila primary school received vouchers for the carnival totalling £20 each. All entries will be displayed in the clubhouse on the day of the carnival. More than 2000 programmes have been printed.
The Carnival has been organised by supporters of the Dunvant RFC Under 15s and other members of the Junior and Mini sections.
The carnival starts at 1pm. There will be stalls, displays, paintballing for over 12s, live music, a hog roast, entertainment from the St.Thomas Irish Dance Group and a 50/50 prize raffle draw.

The tug of war competition will have sections for both under and over 18s. The entrance fee is £10 per team and the winners scoop half the pot.
