Ashley House Youth Centre - Carnival

Mount Pleasant Road, Pontnewydd, Cwmbran.

 After several years of entering a float in the Carnival we decided to do a walking entry as a change.
Debbie has contacts with someone who works in a cinema and she was able to get a giant poster of Harry Potter so we decided to do this as our theme in 2003.
We had great fun making the wigs, costumes and props and everyone who helped make the costumes turned up on carnival day for the parade.
 

Angharad was Harry Potter and Jack was Professor Dumbledore, the rest of us were classmates of Harry.
Debbie made several snitches which are used in the game of Quidditch in the films.
The weather was good and we won first prize.
The Mayor of Torfaen asked us to collect money on the route but as most of us were under 16 the leaders and several senior members collected instead.

They collected over £200.00 which was donated to the Mayors charity.
It was a great day out and everyone enjoyed it.

Thanks to Terry, Debbie, Karl, Teresa, Steve and everyone else who helped.
