Dear Carnival Friends,

CIRCULAR AND REGISTRATION FORM:

WIKA STREET PROCESSION 2011

The 59th season of the Windhoek Carnival will officially open with the
celebration of the Prinzenball (Royal Ball) on Friday evening, the 1st April 2011,
at which formal occasion the new Prinzenpaar (Royal Couple), who reign during the
2011 Carnival season, are introduced to the public.

We will continue to honor the WIKA-tradition established in 1952 and will accordingly
conduct a Street Procession through Independence Avenue on Saturday morning.
The Motto for the 2011 season is:
Der Ton macht die Musik
It's about how you say it…

As in the past we would like the public to be part of this wonderful event, for which reason we take the liberty of inviting you to participate in this
event by entering a float to take part in this procession. Participation is free as usual, but we require you to decorate your float in a humoristic
manner and in line with the spirit of our motto for the year. Plain Advertsing floats without Carnival decoration are disallowed from taking part!

Please use this form to register your participation in the Street Procession of the WIKA 2011, which will be conducted on
2nd April 2011. All participants need to meet at Windhoek's Central Railway Station as from 09h00, from where the procession
departs at 11h11 sharp. We follow Bahnhof Street to Independence Avenue, where we turn to the South (towards Ausspannplatz),
where the procession will end after approximately 2 hours (at about 13h00).

Afterwards, please join us at the "Frühschoppen" at the SKW in Olympia for a good time.

Kind regards and 3 x WIKA!
