HELPERS are being sought to bring a bigger and better Bridport Carnival on Saturday, August 16.

The carnival committee is particularly looking for a volunteer secretary, with access to e-mail, to take minutes at its meetings and help with some paperwork.

New faces would also be welcome to help with all other aspects of the event, whether it is behind the scenes or over the carnival weekend itself.

The group meets once or twice a month on a Tuesday evening.

Anyone able to help can contact carnival committee chairman Shaun Fox on 07836 51676 or Holly Robinson, at the Bridport News, on 01308 455901 or email here.
