    I'm sorry, I still don't really see the point of posting that statement. There is no statement from Dover Carnival Association stating that any of the events Dover Town Carnival attend have nothing to do with us, I find the perceived need to put themselves forward a little petty actually.

    The comments regarding reputation, where does that spring from. Dover Carnival Association is not new (it's 130 years old). It's not doing anything detrimental to the town. As previously mentioned along with DTC it is winning awards in other towns, showing that the girls from Dover, regardless of which association they belong to are fabulous ambassadors for their town. They are not beauty queens they are carnival queens, where personality is valued more than looks.

    Whilst I understand that there were questions regarding the carnival run by DCA in years gone by these questions are of the past for the last few years DCA has been an exemplary example of an association trying to do it's best for the town. The Dickens festival was a way for the association to put something on for the town on limited budget, this year DCA are doing a parade because a 130 year anniversary is something to celebrate.

    No one in the DCA has ever said anything detrimental about the DTC and as also mentioned previously the girls get along very well as it should be. But I have often read posts on here and on other forums that are offensive to DCA and I would ask that if people do not feel they are able to support DCA can they at least appreciate that it is made up of well intentioned individuals who are just trying to maintain an age old tradition.

    And yes it probably would be best if the two amalgamated and mediation was taken on by the town council... That meeting was a complete farce which I will not discuss here.

    I just feel that DCA should be given the same consideration and respect that DTC receive as our girls are representing Dover too and with equally excellent results.
