WELCOME
TO THE OLDEST CARNIVAL WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET
Created on the
23rd April 2003 as the Carnival Chronicle, we had just four
pages and 60 photographs, all on 35mm film, as digital cameras
eight years go, were virtually unheard of and very expensive.
Since then the
website has changed names on four occasions to reflect the
area we cover, in 2007 two further websites were amalgamated
within this site, and because of this a complete rebuild was
commenced. Also because of the size and content of the site,
we have had to purchase a bigger web server to accommodate all
the information and images. However we decided to revert to
our original name, which we feel is justified as we are coming
up to our 10th anniversary.
We hope that
the website will be complete for our 10th anniversary in April
2010, with the need to update the appropriate sections on a
yearly basis.
It is our
intentions that this website be a source of
information, history and images, for future generations to
look at and admire the wonderful entries that have appeared in
the carnivals from the earliest images to the most current.
We are proud
and quite rightly so of the website, the idea which was
conceived in 1998 by Brendon Hill and Mike Pursey, who in 1997
intend to write a book together covering the carnival scene on
the four three circuits that all linked into Somerset, with
club history, and entries. However it was agreed that the book
would be out of date as soon as it was completed.
We are now
proud to cover the East and South Devon Circuits along with
the Somerset County, South Somerset Federation and Wessex
Circuits. |
