Bridgwater carnival attracts around 150,000 people from around the West Country, UK and globally. The carnival's purpose is to raise money for local charities from money collection carts in the procession. The cost of putting together an entry each year takes a lot of commitment and dedication from all our members, not only building but fundraising too. As a club we host a number of events throughout the year from quiz nights, race nights and bingo to even running our own bar at weddings and other events. We also attend Glastonbury festival each year to further boost funds by marshalling. All of these events just cover the cost of building an entry each year. Unfortunately during the 2016 season our tractor unit developed issues which may render it unusable. To raise the extra monies needed to replace this asset may be a stretch to far this year, which is also set to be our fiftieth entry.
