Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - Steve Cooke (15th Jan 2025 - 12:39:29) Are you able to disclose now how much was made by the carnival after costs?

Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - Local (15th Jan 2025 - 13:26:49) Steve Cooke does it matter how much the carnival made. If they have a little surplus very good if not no problem the carnival is a fun evening for our community. If it becomes too expensive then we will all have to dig deep to keep it going for the good of liphook, long may it continue.

Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - Steve Cooke (17th Jan 2025 - 16:44:52) Samuel, may I ask why? I think it is a legitimate question from a resident and business person in the community to know what the financial benefit to our community is from this important event?

Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - M (17th Jan 2025 - 17:30:02) Steve, Why not just attend the meeting and ask there? I can't see why you have such an interest in the amount raised. As long as the committee have covered their costs any monies left, be it £1 or £1000s, can be distributed as they see fit. If you have concerns as to the way the carnival is run or administered then again go to the meeting, ask your questions and, better still, join the committee!

Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - Local (17th Jan 2025 - 17:59:40) Steve Cooke why should the carnival committee tell everyone about their finances. Will you submit your financial position to the public think not . It’s not anybody’s business except the carnival committee. Think you’re trying to stir up trouble. The carnival is an institution of liphook and hopefully it will continue for many years if it comes to hard times and can’t distribute money from the night then no problem. My thoughts are perhaps they should save the money from collecting for a few years to safeguard the continued carnival. The carnival is something to look forward to especially as times are hard .

Re: Liphook Carnival Fund Distribution & AGM - Dave (17th Jan 2025 - 20:10:10) I think Sam’s response is unnecessarily passive aggressive towards a legitimate question. If Sam (and I am making an assumption here) is part of the Carnival management team then he should perhaps be a little more engaging with a member of the local community
