Default Wimborne Minster Carnival
Yesterday was the 25th Wimborne Minster Save The Children Parade, down in deepest Dorset. Nice to catch up with a few friends and good to see some winter steam. Im not the biggest Fowler fan but Queen Mary and Princess have real character. Both of course ex Townsend Amusements of Weymouth, and is good to see Queen Mary in their colours.











There was also a right dodgy character on this tractor!

A few strange characters getting ready for the parade:

Just got back from a very wet and cold run back home with the Garrett. Was a brilliant day/evening. Brilliant pictures, thanks!

It seems to be a well kept secret, but luckily a few TT members gave the tip-off

Some excellent pictures, very good day on Saturday but the event never seems to be well advertised other than very locally in Wimborne. The reindeer costume was not intended but turned out to be very warm especially when loading up later in the evening!
