PETER Mason and Debbie Hancock are determined the 150th Rheola Charity Carnival will be a success.
Back on Easter Monday for the first time in four years, the organising committee president and secretary were joined by enthusiastic committee members for a meeting on Sunday.
Mr Mason said projects to replace the hall floor and new toilets should be finished in time for the event’s sesquicentennial running.
“We’ve had a good number of volunteers step out and that’s giving us confidence that Easter Monday in Rheola will be a very special time,” Mr Mason said. “We’re still on the lookout for more helpers though. The more we have the better.”
And committee member Julie Piening cannot wait for this year’s event. That night she will be able to start writing the final chapter of a book already at 300 pages charting the charity carnival’s history bringing the community together and raising funds for district hospitals.
“Once we’ve conducted the 150th, it will be to work on the last chapter,” she said.
