Wrap-Up of CAT Underground Mining New Years Day Carnival

Another Christmas Carnival series has come and gone but the talk of their future continues. With a review due in a few months of all the carnivals, we await its observations and recommendations.

The 2012 CAT Underground Mining New Years Day Carnival enjoyed its best day in probably 10 years with over 4000 people in attendance, sensational weather and a dose of enthusiasm from the Nu-Gen Carnival which attracted over 100 young athletes aged between 10 and 16.

The Burnie Athletic Club members deserve recognition for the work they do to ensure that this carnival puts its best foot forward each year. It is easy to sit back and take pot shots, it is another thing again to put your shoulder to the wheel and help advance the cause. This carnival has just celebrated its 125th anniversary and hopefully with everyone working together with an open mind there are still plenty of good years ahead.

 BSE and the BAC thank the wide range of sponsors that make this carnival possible and of course we are always looking for more sponsors to enable us to continually improve. If you are interested do not hesitate to contact BSE Sponsorship Manager; Martyn Fishwick at email mfishwick@burniesportsandevents.com.au
