Originally formed in 1966
by Roy Pearce and his son Kevin Pearce, they made their first entry
" Musketeers " in the local juvenile mounted section. At the time
they lived in Marina Row in Bridgwater. Then the club was called
"Marina Juvenile Carnival club" They were based at the Bunch Of
Grapes pub.
In 1981 then based at
Sydenham Community Centre, they were asked if they would change the
name to " Marina Sydenham Community Centre Juvenile Carnival Club "
! Surprisingly they refused but thankfully a compromise was reached
and the club was renamed as it is today.
Sarah joined in
1982 for " The Runaway Train "and Richard Humphrey the year
after for "A Day at the Fair " Although they never took over the
running of the club until 1986.
In 1988 the cart building
plot was moved to Bristol Road and in 1989 we
moved to our present site.
Having moved to the Commercial in the early 90's, we then moved to
the Volunteer Arms in 1997 Nicky Lewis started making the costumes
in1997, up until then Rita Day had made them. |
