Rolleston Carnival

The annual Rolleston Carnival is to be held on Sunday 10th May. Please look out for our children on the circus float as they parade through the village. They are hard at work currently creating masks and costumes for the event.

At the Rolleston Scout Hut we will also be hosting a bouncy castle, so all our little circus animals and clowns can have a good jump after the parade! We hope to see you there.

 

We are going to be decorating the float on the morning of the Carnival. Should you be able to spare a couple of hours to help with this, we would be most grateful. Please contact the Pre-School for details.

Pancake Races

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the village pancake races in February. Around £180 was raised. The children enjoyed the races and several teams from the Pre-School competed. Well done children!

Special thanks must go to St Mary’s Church who generously donated their half of the event proceeds to the Rolleston Pre-School New Build fund. A big thank you also to Kim Owen and family, and all Committee members who helped out at the event cooking those delicious pancakes.

Daniel Smith Blues Band

It’s time to get on those dancing shoes! The Daniel Smith Blues Band are performing at the Rolleston Commemoration Club on Sunday 15th March at 7.30pm.

With accolades proclaiming, “Dazzling accomplished boogie woogie & blues piano” (The Guardian)  and , “Absolutely brilliant! A boogie piano maestro with a top class band…a great performer” (BBC Radio 2) it’s going to be a gig not to be missed. Daniel has not been nominated “British Keyboardist of the Year” for nothing.

Get along and check them out!

Tickets £6.50, available from Tom Martin, Arnold Burston or Starbucks Newsagents, or phone 01283 813320. See posters for details.

Rolleston Carnival
