Belinda Bennett provides a round-up of South West illuminated carnivals
Sid vale Carnival Club recently held their annual “Christmas Social” to thank all its supporters, everyone from Sponsors, to our neighbours at our float building site.
On display at the Social evening were a fantastic total of 35 trophies, won during the 2009 carnival season. This included, 11 1st’s, 2 2nd’s, and an amazing 4th prize from Bridgwater, matching our best ever Bridgwater result of 4th in 1995. Also, 10 best overall awards, 4 Best costume awards and 6 other special awards. This has been one of the clubs most successful years and we are all really please with what we have achieved.
The club would like to thank its sponsors and supporters for their help. We are now in the process of picking next year’s idea and are planning something just as successful. The club are interested to hear from any one interested in helping us in 2009, including sponsors and new members who can contact Marion Perry on 01395 514244.
