Warren family were busy bees
William, Helen and Daniel in their bumblebee and flower costumes
CARNIVAL memories continue to flood in to the Herald offices with pictures sent in by reader Helen Warren.
In 1977 William, Helen and Daniel dressed as bumble bees and a flower to be part of a float with the theme of an English country garden and in 1981 they portrayed a Mississippi steamboat along with John, Ben and Tim.
The family also took part in the carnival of 1983 celebrating the centenary of the Borough of Eastbourne when they walked as a steam train.
Helen writes, “Between the early 1970s and early 1980s the Hartington Young Wives Group based at the YWCA in Old Town, which is now Communitywise, organised a carnival entry.
“On a very limited budget, the chaps built the structure and the women organised painting, props and costumes. We borrowed a lorry for the day. It always looked good and quite often we won a prize.”
