Our Illustrious Leader will be in the West Country from Thurs 27th of June to Sun the 7th of July. He has been invited back to Ashburton to officiate in the Towns Carnival week where he will open the Carnival Fete on Sat 29th June as guest of honour. He will visit various events thoughout the week, take part in the Carnival parade, and be part of the judging committee on Saturday the 6th of July.
He feels honoured to be involved as this is the place where ‘The Official Monster Raving Loony Party’ first got off of the ground at the ‘Golden Lion Hotel. It is also the place where the Loony Party had their greatest political success when Howling Laud became a Town Councillor for 13 years, Town Mayor, Chairman of the Council and a Lord of the Borough!
Asburton is a lovely place, if you live near, or are down that way during this period, you will be more than welcome to come and join in, but make sure that your in the right mood for a laugh.

Howling will also be the guest of honour in his own local town of Fleet in Hampshire at the annual Fleet Dog Show at Calthorpe Park on Saturday 27th July. ‘Bark in the Park’ has been going a couple of years now and is gaining in popularity each time. This is quite fitting, as it was the Loony Party led by Lord Sutch that was instrumental in getting the ‘Passport for Pets’ law on the statute books! Once again all are welcome, if your bringing your Boxers make sure they leave their gloves at home!
