Wednesday 25 July 2012 is a day we hope our Carnival Queens & Princesses 2012 will never forget. The Queen & Prince Philip came to Cowes. Ebany, Antonia, Alicia, Molly, Cayleigh & Clarice were very lucky to be able to meet the Queen and present her with the most fantastic posy which was made & donated by the wonderful Leanne from Bay Tree Flowers in Cowes. The Royal Bodyguard even presented our girls with sun cream to stop them getting burnt from the sun. 

Thank you girls, you have made us so proud.

The new 2012 Cowes Carnival float  "Oh La La" at the first carnival of the season in Newport.

We would like to welcome a new member to the Cowes Carnival team Clarice Johnson - Flux who is 10 we hope Clarice enjoys the summer season of carnivals.

Cowes Main carnival is on Wednesday 8 August. Please come out support us by either watching or taking part. Entry is free and you will have loads of fun. Judging is at 6.15pm in Ward Avenue with the procession starting at 7pm from Ward Avenue, going across Park Road in to Victoria Road then in to Mill Hill Road before turning in to Birmingham Road, Shooters Hill, High Street and finishing on the Parade.

Cowes Illuminated Procession is on Saturday 25 August again starting in Ward Avenue and following the same route as the main procession. Judging is at 8.15pm and the procession leaves Ward Avenue at 8.45pm.

Please, please come out and support us.

Our Queens & Princesses selection night for 2012 was our most successful one yet we had 45 entry forms back and the judges had a very hard time, We only wish that every girl that enters could go on the float but that is an impossible dream. We thank them so much for being brave and coming forward and ask them to try again next year. We only hope they had a good time at the disco and would love to see them back in 2013. We would like to thank our two Judges Rosemary & John Hamar who had the very difficult task of selecting just six girls.

We would like to welcome our new Queens & Princesses for 2012 to our Cowes carnival team and hope they have an enjoyable summer representing Cowes at all the Islands carnivals. They seem a fantastic bunch of girls who are very eager for the summer to come so they can get on our new float for 2012.
