THE BILL BLACKFORD MEMORIAL CUP

In late 2023 we, Wroughton Carnival Committee, made an exciting discovery, we found the Bill Blackford Memorial Cup.

This cup was given by the family of Bill Blackford to the Carnival in the year 2000.

Bill was the local Blacksmith and a fountain of knowledge about Wroughton; it was once said “If you want to know anything about Wroughton, just ask Bill Blackford, he is a walking history book.”

He was a great friend to the Carnival Committee, which is why in his family donated this beautiful cup in his memory.

At this years carnival parade we will have two prize categories:

Under 18s will have awards for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd places

Over 18s 1^st prize will be awarded the Bill Blackford Memorial Cup.
