Community gears-up for Diamond Jubilee celebrations
The organisers of next year’s Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations came along to Carnoustie Community Council this week to update members on arrangements for the event. Robina Addison of the Gordon School of Dancing and Norman 
Fiddes of Pipemarch Limited, outlined proposals for the day of events which will be held at Glamis Castle on May 20th next year. Many Carnoustie folk will have taken part in the Silver Jubilee celebrations 10 years ago, but this event promises to be even bigger and better! Each of the seven Angus burghs is to be allocated a large marquee in the tented village within Glamis grounds, which will accommodate a range of groups, organisations or individuals representative of each town. Robina is in the process of contacting all organisations, schools, clubs and interest groups in Carnoustie, inviting their participation in the event. Local community council organiser, Sue McMahon is urging all who are interested to get behind the event saying, “This is an ideal opportunity for Carnoustie residents to showcase their skills, talent, enterprise and enthusiasm to the whole of Angus and beyond”. She went on, “The community council will call a meeting of all interested parties in the near future so that we can pick your brains and plan how we set-up the Carnoustie marquee. In addition to the tented village there will be a grand parade of young people led by massed pipe bands from all over the country and a series of events throughout the day. Admission on the day will be free and every youngster taking part will be given a commemorative medal. Anyone interested in taking part can contact Sue on 01241852549
