I discovered this week that Addiscombe is to have its first carnival for about thirty years on this coming Sunday (26th July 2009).  I did remember hearing something about it earlier this year and looking at its web site but I had forgotten all about it. The web site doesn't seem to have been updated with any enthusiasm since then. Apparently there are some posters around and about. It merited all of one small paragraph in the Croydon Guardian. Anyway it seems it forms up in Morland Road and then departs at 11am, ending up in Ashburton Park where there various bits and bobs alongside the annual funfair that has been operating all week.

Perhaps the even bigger news for me is that I was actually able to read my own copy of the Croydon Guardian. For the second week running I've found it on the doormat. Those are the first two copies I've had in 2009, to add to the approximately three copies I received in 2008 (prior to that delivery was very reliable). I assume The Post, or as I call it The 'If you want to know the name of this paper, buy this weeks Croydon Advertiser', still exists but that hasn't been seen for a few months now.
