Organisers warned of problems last year when only two floats were booked for the procession. But it s a different problem this year. We ve just got no support whatsoever.
Nobody wants to do anything.
The cancellation is particularly ironic as Rotherfield and Mark Cross were last year s Sussex Champions, with four first prizes as best dressed visiting bonfire society. We re still going to all the other carnivals, added the spokesman. It s just a shame the Sussex Champions won t be having a carnival of their own. However, only one member of the public turned up. We hoped that by having an open meeting we might bring people forward.
