Its that time again!!!! time to drop foot through the streets to the heavy beats of soca and caypso!!!! dazzled by the vibrant colours of carnival bands from near and far!!!! This year the Carnival procession will be going back to its roots and finishing back at Moor Park by public demand!!! (a treat for the prisoners of HMP Preston!) Defending her title will be Joy Newgent of Nottingham who won the procession competition in 2006!!! Also this year we take the opportunity to commemmorate the 200th year that marks the abolition of the slave trade!!!
