Barnstaple Carnival’10
Carnival season finished on a high yesterday as the Uncle Tom boys took to the streets of Barnstaple.
As is now a tradition, the boys started and finished at The Reform Inn, Pilton. Their hospitality was well received, so much so that there appeared to be some reluctance to leave for the carnival itself.
The streets were packed with revellers, particularly around the strand and square. As always, the horse was well received even by those who took a drenching from tailman Graham Rice. Graham’s fellow riders on this day were: Gerald Walters, Darren Smallridge, Norman Sanders, Mark Sanders, Kevin Irwin and John Webber.
Sue Muir and Sarah Rumson, who have become the backbone of the ground crew, did a stirling job with the ladder and money collection.
