Welcome! It is my pleasure to welcome you to this guide to the Kilwinning Segdoune Carnival and street party 2012. The event has been expanded due to the Public Holiday being announced for the 5th of June and will include extra entertainment and the evening ceilidh. A lot of work goes into preparing the event and deciding on how to take the event forward each year, so I very much hope everyone enjoys the day. I very much wish the committee of Promoting Kilwinning well for the future as I leave the group after the carnival, if anyone would like to be involved in the work of Promoting Kilwinning then please to speak Joe Broussard. Best Regards Donald Reid Event Organiser.

SEGDOUNE ROYAL PARTY 2012
Photo by Derek Cooper
This year’s Segdoune Royal selection evening took place in April when seven young ladies, all hopeful of being elected as Queen, attended ‘Playz’ Centre in Pennyburn accompanied by their parents. The judges, whose job was to perform the hard bit and select our Royal figurehead and her deputy, were the well-known local community campaigner Ann Robertson MBE and Jackie Browne, Chairperson of the event organisers Promoting Kilwinning. It was a difficult choice to make but the judges awarded the role of Segdoune Queen to Rachel Dean of Abbey Primary School with Shelly Smith of Pennyburn elected as her Depute. After being elected Queen, Rachel said ‘I’m very happy to have been chosen and I’m looking forward to my duties,’ whilst Shelly said she was ‘ecstatic’ to have been picked as Depute. From left to right: Front Row: Depute Queen Shelly Smith (Pennyburn PS) and Segdoune Queen Rachel Dean (Abbey). Back Row: Royal Party: Heather Lundie (St. Luke’s), Rachel Gorman (Whitehirst), Alice Dean (Corsehill), Demi Barr (Blacklands), and Chloe Blair (St Winning’s).
