Here we are alread, our last carnival of 2011. A van full of club members spent Sunday afternoon repairing the roof that fell on our journey up and the road-crew had spent the day checking over the vehicles read for tonight's procession.
It was a clear cool evening and the crowds were again out in force. The procession went smoothly with a lot of appreciation from those looking on, but all too soon we were back at the start. We had quite a high entry number so by the time we finished it was already late. By the time the road-crew secured the vehicle and made there way across to the party at the Winter Gardens it was just after 11PM.
Another big thank-you must go to Martin from Frost Recovery who came out to recover the tractor with his new HGV recovery truck. This saved a a lot of time and was by far the safest method of recovery.
Sadly due the the soft ground surrounding the shed entrance, Martin was unabe to reverse the lorry and tractor into the shed, so we had to call in another favour and ask Dave Branfield to bring round his JCB and put the tractor away.
