KIMBERLEY CROWNED CARNIVAL QUEEN

16 year old Kimberley Primmer has been crowned Clacton Carnival Queen for 2013.   Kimberley is a 6^th form student at the Clacton Coastal Academy studying for her ‘A’ levels. 12 year old Jenita Johnson and 11 year old Megan London also pupils at the Clacton Coastal Academy were chosen as her Princesses.

The Selection and Crowning took place at a Disco at Sacketts Grove Caravan Park on Friday 22nd March. Although the number of entrants was quite low this year the Judges had a difficult task as the standard was so high.  The Judges were: Lisa Percival; Sharon Rawlinson, 1977 Clacton Carnival Queen; Ron Londors, Vice President, Lions Club of Clacton on sea and Tony Timms, Manager of Magic City in Clacton. The girls were each given a Voucher by Gary McNamara of ‘Hair 4 U’ and their prize money, sponsored by GCS Alarms, will be presented to them later in the year.

Kimberley, Jenita and Megan will be representing Clacton at various other Carnivals in the area throughout the summer. The highlight for them will be leading the Clacton Carnival Procession on Saturday 10th August, when the theme will be ‘MUSICALS’. This will be the start of a very busy Carnival Week raising funds for many local charities.
