Unfortunately, as much as we have received countless emails asking when we will return to pick up where we left off, we will not be there again this year. Big news this year is the extremely attractive but inappropriately designed midget Carnival Arts Centre finally opening in Luton.. It is a stunning building that is a testament to the ego of the director and the architects who wrote their own brief. Sadly, the community has lost out since their art, activities and comfort take second place to other's ambitions. Please go and visit to see where your EU and Lottery money has been spent. Each year since the spin generated so called "New Dawn" and disastrous efforts of "Red" Ken Livingston and Lee Jasper to shape the carnival made the event a parody of its historical reputation. It is probably no longer the biggest street festival in Europe. We found it increasingly difficult to take photographs and provide the community with a web page of images. We believed all should remember the enormous efforts they have made to put on one of the greatest shows on earth. The offer to pass the legacy of this page on to a younger and idealistic group is still open. Should any bands or individuals wish to help with a page this year by submitting their photographs, or if they wish to take over this page, please contact me at the email address on this page, replacing nhc with tim. Make sure you include the word carnival in your message otherwise it will not get past my spam filter The affiliated sister page, music phatfotos will continue to evolve.Should you require any copies of the images from these pages, for personal or commercial reasons, please feel free to contact the photographer. Both high quality colour balanced prints and high res jpegs can be provided. Bands who are members of the NHMBA have free access to all images from all events at the 2005 carnival and the Grand Carnival Splash from earlier years. Florida, Aug '09
