Meet the Carnival Committee

Fleet & District Carnival is local charity that has been a part of the community for over 60 years. Our committee is run by a team of volunteers, who dedicate their time to organise this much loved annual event, that brings families and friends together whilst having fun and raising money for charity.

Kerry Lambert Chairman

I joined the Carnival committee only last year having wanted to get involved and support my town and this fantastic annual event. I was privileged to be able to run the dog show with my colleagues from Ashworth Vets and loved every minute of it. This year I have now taken on the Chairman role as well as running the dog show with the team at Ashworth Vets. Being a part of the committee, has been a great opportunity to meet some great people, working hard to continue on such a fun and well run event. I have loved being part of the dog show with my practice for the last 5 years so am looking forward to taking on the new challenges the role of Chairman brings and i hope i can do the role justice and bring Fleet a wonderful Carnival 2019.

Becca Alliston

I am new to the committee this year but I have been attending the carnival since I was a child. I have grown up loving the atmosphere in Fleet around carnival time and couldn’t bear to see it stop, so naturally I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to help in any way I could! Making use of my long student summer I am responsible for running around collecting raffle prizes, delivering flyers and programmes and helping out with any general odds and ends. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing event!

Leanne Lamerton

Having grown up in the local area, I have enjoyed the carnival both as a child and an adult. It is always great fun with a brilliant atmosphere and an excellent turnout. It has always amazed me how much effort must go into the organisation so I have joined the committee to find out and help with the organisation. I am looking forward to utilising my skills and being able to contribute to what will be a fantastic 2019 carnival!

Joy Marshall

I moved to the Fleet area in 2015 and have been looking ways to get move involved in supporting the local community ever since. When I contacted the Carnival Committee and was told they were recruiting new volunteers to the team, I knew this was the opportunity I’d been looking for.

I’ve organised and run conferences and events all over the world so I’m hoping to use my skills and experience to help make the 2020 Carnival bigger & better than ever!
