The Lightning Carnival is organised by one school from the Pool (see Lightning Carnival Roster) which is responsible for organising Pennants, Grounds / Marking, Fixtures, Equipment. Five other schools are responsible for co-coordinating the individual sport. It is their responsibility to organise umpires for their sport and to collect and tally results on the day.
So-long.....and thanks for all the fish.
