On 29th July 2006, the tramway club took part
in the Bexhill Carnival with the club mini tram as we did last year in the Hastings Carnival.
The club’s mini tram, no 10 was on its especially decorated trailer kindly towed by Alan
Humphrey in his car. At around 11am the Judges came round to find winners in each group. We
were amazed to find out that our float won 3rd place in the judging of our group which was Charities,
Clubs and Organizations! We set off at about 1.00pm for the 4 mile trip. The procession started
in Turkey Road and then set off heading into Sidley then into Bexhill, onto the seafront,
along the seafront to the finish at the Polegrove where a variety of stalls and entertainment was
on offer. The Carnival took about 4 hours to complete, with the club helping to collect money in
two nets. It was a really great and fun day! Thanks to Roy, Derek, Alan, Mary and Oliver for taking
part.
