So, what did everybody think of the Tiverton Carnival this year?!?

I thought that the carnival was  a great success considering that some entries pulled out at the last minute ,The schools were brilliant and even though some were on about pulling out but didnt it makes it all worth while being on the comittee.Thanks to everyone and all that entered and help with the carnival  .

First time ive ever been and really enjoyed it, I lived in Bridgwater Somerset for a number of years and a bit different to that but felt more like you were involved and really impressed with the schools this year.
Great turn out and we were so lucky with the weather too.
See you there next year!

Can't help but agree with you, Christmasboy. While it was nice to have more of the community involved, including the schools who did a great job and made a real effort, it was the "same old crap"!

Didn't help that it was partly ruined by some of the more troublesome kids, some even running out into the road, throwing coins at people and hurling obscenities. There were plenty of police officers there, shame they're not capable of doing their job, too busy talking to Lews News no doubt.

If you actually get some proper floats (that means at least 5 or 6, hopefully more) than it could be a good night. And why not collaborate it with the light switch on, have some fireworks and live music as well. The Tiverton High Rock School did a great set for last years Christmas lights, why not have the same but all on carnival, make it a really good show. Maybe ask some local bands too play!?

All it was good for was creating an extra bit of advertising for some groups and businesses. Nothing more, nothing less. Get it right next year, Tiverton!

I think the carnival committee worked really hard to give us the best carnival with the resources that they had to hand. All these people making disparaging comments should get off their backsides and help towards next year's carnival then perhaps they could make informed comments instead of 'it's crap' ....

It was one of the best carnivals in my opinion. Could have done with some more floats and maybe a live band would be a good idea. A few of my friends at Tiverton high school have a band (and are quite good) I'm sure that if you aked them they would play at the carnival next year. I also agree with the idea of having the light switch on on the same evening, and the fireworks afterwards. It was a good evening and i would love to help out with next years carnival.

Again has anyone of the moaners considered that may be the weather had a little to do with this.As we had another 3 larger floats that pulled out during the day on saturday due the weather when they rang me i was out sorting things for this event and my children took the calls to say that they were not coming because of the weather .So stop moaning and be thankful we didnt cancel .Thankyou anyway to those who did make the carnival possible and all the entries that came along i think they were great .Hopefully we can do better next year with some more entries.
