1982 Land of Make Believe

The Information below was Taken from the 40th Anniversary booklet

'THE, "GRAND SLAM" YEAR,
Without doubt this year was and remains to this day the most successful that this or for that fact any other Club has experienced. The Marketeers' Entries: "A Dream Come True" (Stage) and "Land of Make Believe" (Cart) walked away with EVERY Trophy available to a Feature Club at the time, including all the various County Individual "Choice" Category Awards throughout the Carnival circuit, a feat yet to be emulated by any other. It goes without saying that many Clubs have benchmarked from the Marketeers over the years and with much success, We as a Club have, over the past forty years seen many individuals come, go and remain, many of whom, whose names crop up occasionally in the odd tale, that may be at times quite unbelievable.
But if you shave off the slight exaggeration or two they have accumulated over the years they are still as hilarious or inspirational as ever. Of those names, there are individuals who were, or indeed may still be, of great influence within the Club, both founder and more recent members alike. It is to these people, some sadly no longer with us, that we pay tribute, for without their inspiration, vision and sheer dedication I am sure the Marketeers Carnival Club would not be the successful Club that it is today and we hope, well into the future.
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!
