Water Orton Carnival Committee is made up of a small, diverse group of volunteers.
We’re a friendly bunch and come from all walks of life, experience, and backgrounds. The one thing that unites us all? Serving Water Orton and planning and delivering events that excite, engage and in turn, support the people of the village.
At the AGM, we will be voting for the posts below AND volunteers. If you’d like to join the Committee, this is your chance!
As a volunteer: you can promise an hour or days … its up to you, but, we need YOU!
If you’d like to put yourself forward for a Committee role, please contact Toni Harrison (Secretary) toni.harrison@nullgmx.co.uk If you’d like to volunteer, come and talk to us at the AGM or contact volunteer@nullwaterortoncarnival.co.uk
