Meet the Team
Fleet & District Carnival is local charity that has been a part of the community for over 60 years. Our committee is staffed entirely by 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.
I am really looking forward to being able to bring an amazing carnival back to Fleet and the surrounding area for 2023! Carnival is one of those events that brings the community together, no matter what your age. It is always great fun with a brilliant atmosphere and an excellent turnout. There is so much effort that goes into organising it and I am very lucky to have such a strong and committed team who all pull together to create such a fantastic day.
I joined the carnival committee in 2019 having moved to the area a few years previously. After a couple of difficult years, It was wonderful to be part of carnival coming back in 2022 and seeing the community response to the return of this much-loved and greatly-missed local event.
I am proud to take on the role of Vice-Chair for 2023 and to have the opportunity of once again being a part of the fabulous organising committee that works so hard to bring carnival to life.

With my background in finance I joined the Carnival Committee as Treasurer. Having lived in Fleet most of my life, this was the perfect way for me to volunteer my time to a great local event. I get the chance work with a lovely team of people helping the community and I’m excited for a new challenge and fun filled Carnival in 2023.
I am the Carnival Secretary. Having lived in Fleet all of my life and I love the excitement of the Carnival. I spent more than 29 years as Manager of a travel agency in Fleet High Street.
I have been the president of the Carnival for over 10 years and have lived in Fleet since the 1970’s and have an active role with the Fleet WRVS.
I joined the committee in 1989 and was the Carnival Treasurer for 25 years. I am now one of the assistant treasurers. Having lived in Fleet since Jan 1986 I love Fleet Carnival and especially banking loads of money for our charitable causes!
Having grown up in and around Fleet, I have always loved the atmosphere in town around carnival time and so I joined the committee in 2018. Working around university deadlines and part time work you’ll most likely see me running around town doing various odd jobs behind the scenes to help keep carnival running.
I joined the Carnival committee in 2018 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. 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 five years and really enjoyed the challenges of Chairman in 2019. Looking forward to bring carnival back in 2023.
Being involved in carnival is something that gives me a real sense of town pride and community. I have helped for around 6 years and being involved in keeping such a historical Fleet event running, which I remember from childhood, is such a joy. I hope the events of carnival that the whole committee put so much into will be a part of other children’s’ happy memories and continue for many years. See you all there over Carnival weekend.
I was first involved with Fleet Carnival in 2022. I helped to organise the Prince & Princess ball and had a great time teaching the winners a royal wave during the carnival procession! I enjoy various volunteering opportunities and this was something different to try. I really enjoyed the carnival atmosphere and being part of the team.

Brian has been living in fleet for the past 40 years as resident of this great town. He has been actively member of fleet carnival for the past 10 + years looking after and being part of the Task Force.
I have been on the Carnival committee for over five years now and am part of the Task Force team who plan and manage all the logistics of the day. It is great to be part of such a fantastic team who all help and make carnival what it is. I am really looking forward to being part of it again in 2023 and making the community proud of such a traditional event.
