Stourbridge Carnival Recognises Kingswinford & Stourbridge Lions

Stourbridge Carnival this year celebrated 25 years of community carnivals in Stourbridge. During this time Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions have attended every year providing either support to the organising committee and helping with the marshalling of the road closures in the early years or in recent years the organising 1 or more stalls, we will long be remembered for our famous donuts which we sold from our catering van at the top of Lower High Street.

The Carnival has over the last 25 years provided a fun packed Sunday day out for the local residents with parades, fun fairs, stalls and activities throughout the town centre, this has given not just Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions but also the many other charity organisations within the local area the means to raise money for the many worthwhile local causes that we all support.

In recognition of the contribution that Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions have made to the Carnival over the past 25 years Lion Rod Owen (who has attended the Carnival since it started) and this year’s President Lion Rob Owen were invited onto the stage by the Carnival Chairman David Harcourt to officially open the Carnival and present certificates to participants of the Parade.

Following the Official opening of the Carnival, David Harcourt presented a certificate to Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions recognising “Outstanding contribution and achievement for over 25 years to the Stourbridge Carnival”

The Woodland Trust has funded the work as part of a year-long planting project, which will see six million trees being planted across th...e UK by more than a million volunteers.

Councillor David Stanley, Dudley’s cabinet member for environment and culture, said: “A quarter of our borough is made up of green space and we are very proud of our beautiful parks and nature reserves.

“I would like to thank all the volunteers for getting involved in this planting event which will leave a special gift that can be enjoyed by many generations to come.”
