We are so pleased to share this picture with you !
Radcliffe Carnival's very own Hero was honoured by the Parish Council at the Parish Meeting on 20th April.
Steve has been recognised and thanked by the Parish Council for being a 'resident who has made an outstanding contribution to the village of Radcliffe on Trent’.
Steve has been involved in the running of the annual
Radcliffe on Trent Carnival for over 25 years and continues to be an integral
part of the Carnival Working Group. He organises almost every aspect of the
fete held in the grounds of the Grange on Carnival Day.
Steve has an amazing knowledge of how to do things or ‘who to
go to’, so nothing ever seems to be a
problem even if it's rearranging the site due to inclement weather,
obtaining 40 foot scaffold poles, hay
bales for seating or how to fix the generator!
He is universally respected by everyone who comes into
contact with him and he makes time to explain and show new members of the team
what happens next, even when things are a bit hectic.
Steve was also one of the founder members of the Radcliffe
Twinning Association in 1995 when the first steps in twinning the village were
taken following a meeting in a Parish Councillors house through to successfully
twinning with Bussy Saint Georges in 1999. Steve remains
very involved in the running and activities of this group today.
