Victor Critchlow

The Mayor of London's 2004 'Notting Hill Carnival Strategic Review' names him variously as Victor Critchlow(e)/Crichlowe and has "Victor Crichlowe is the Chairman of the Caribbean Music Association (CME{sic}) SOCA DJ’s. He is the former manager of the Carnival Industrial Projects (CIP), a youth training scheme educating young people in carnival skills. He has been associated with Carnival from the beginning.”

Pearson School: "Interview with Victor Crichlow in July 2001: Victor worked with Claudia Jones on the early carnivals and later became Treasurer of the Notting Hill Carnival."

We've accepted the surname spelling on thePioneers plaque, despite it being different from the normally accepted spelling of his brother Frank Crichlow.

At the 17 June 2020 source this photo is captioned: "#NottingHill #Carnival bid farewell to #Pioneer Victor Crichlow former treasurer of the Notting Hill Carnival Arts Committee. He was the brother of the late Frank Crichlow of the Mangrove Restaurant. May his soul Rest In Eternal Peace ... Condolences to his family".
