THE Lions Club of Tavistock is continuing its search for a young lady to wear the glittering tiara and wave a royal hand at this year's spectacular Tavistock Carnival — so now is the chance for three lucky youngsters to win a chance to step up to the vacant throne as the new carnival princess and attendants.

All young ladies who apply, using the form below, must be between the ages of seven and 11 years on July 1, 2015 and live within the PL19 and PL20 postal districts.

The competition is sponsored by Lawsons of Tavistock and the Tavistock Times Gazette and the club is delighted with the continued support from both companies.

The judging will take place at the Tavistock Parish Church Centre in Plymouth Road on Thursday, May 28 at 6.30pm, with the official crowning during 'Funday in the Meadows' on Sunday, July 12 at 3pm.

The carnival princess and attendants will lead the carnival procession through the streets of Tavistock on Saturday, July 18 so the lucky winners must be available for these dates.

Tavistock's ever popular carnival week starts on Saturday, July 11 with an action-packed week of events for all the family culminating in the procession on the following Saturday.

The theme for this year is 'Music makes the World go Round' so watch out for the entry form that will be appearing in this paper in early June, but now is the time for everybody to get their thinking caps on.
