The Cupboard Monster MARKETEERS CARNIVAL CLUBChairman: Steve Wright Captain: Alan Windsor Treasurer: Dave Kirk Jnr Secretary: Mark Cheffy Hello one and all, hope every one enjoyed their Bank Holiday Weekend, since I last wrote to you all we have had a busy time, bars are now regularly occurring and work on the cart is continuing on a daily basis. In between working for the club, around 25 of us departed to Benidorm for Adrian Hornes Stag Weekend. This as I’m sure everyone there would agree was an absolute barrel of laughs, and in between Grover clowning around & Horney discussing his homosexuality with a hotdog seller who looked like Lilly Savages uglier sister, we had a jolly good time! The adventure started for many of us around 11pm on the Thurs night; unfortunately Dean ‘Faggot’ Waite wasn’t able to make the weekend as he was appearing in the international door kicking competition (where he came away with a severely damaged foot). As more of the troops arrived, we relaxed in many ways, some sleeping, some drinking, some (me and Gadger) dishing out a Euchre lesson to the combined brains of John Turner and Grover. The bus arrived at 3am and we made our way to Bristol airport, the next few hours were spent playing cards and drinking, whilst awaiting the flight. The flight was uneventful (if you call uneventful being a plane load of Welsh acting like C#£%$) and we were soon stood in Alicante airport, doing what we seem to do all year – Waiting for Doey to turn up. We were soon in Benidorm and relaxing by the pool whilst enjoying a few drinks, a quiet afternoon recharging the batteries turned into the complete opposite and we were soon all plastered (bit like faggots foot) the day turned into the night and after some karaoke we hit Benidorm with a vengeance. Before we knew it, it was fast approaching sunrise and therefore home time. This trend continued throughout the weekend with alcohol being drunk like it was going out of fashion. The highlight of the Sunday night was Paul Brazewell becoming Benidorm’s Bucking Bronco champion. It was soon Monday and the flight was beckoning us back to good old Blighty (luckily this time there were no Welsh). A good time was had by all and Horney even made it back in one piece. One final note on the weekend away - Chunky dunster would like to thank Jones for sorting the rooms so that he ended up Sharing with Spud & Grover. Also during April, the Club held a Quiz in the Blake Arms which was well attended. In the end the quiz was won by Garry & Sharon Chidgey and Tim and Cathy Knapp. The next quiz is being held in The Blake Arms Hotel Function Room Friday 16th May 2008. Please make an effort to come along, it is a very enjoyable night and raises a huge amount of money for the club. A lot of work is still being undertaken out the halfway, and its important that we get people out there early to prevent a mad panic come the end of October/November, if you have spare time please pop out there, most people are out there on a Mon, Weds and Weekends, however if you can’t make these days please contact me or Cart Co-Coordinator Allan Elson and we will sort you out access to the sheds.
Right I leave you now to enjoy your day, hope to see you all soon at one of the upcoming events, please support the club functions and everything we do in the coming months. Thanks for listening, hope to see you at the Quiz on the 16th May. Best Wishes - Windsor
Meet the Members This Month’s edition focuses on 2 men that joined the club at the same the Mark ‘Dessie’ Mason Nickname – Mace or Des to the older ones!! Occupation – Depends who you ask Position in Club – Gold Star Winner and Meetings Chief Trouble Maker Year Joined – 1982/83 Reason you joined – being born in North Petherton I was always bothered by the local weirdo (who unfortunately I also went to school with) I reasoned that as the inbred would never leave Pethy I should move my social circles out of Petherton and into a Bridgwater Carnival Club Involvement with Club – In meetings, I wait for the club captain to start talking then decide to hold a discussion of my own, I also am charged with looking after the collective brains of ‘The Heart of the Cart’ this is particularly challenging as half of them have difficulty breathing without being told what to do, let alone wire up Bulb holders. Favourite memory of your time with the Club – Probably being asked to stand in for my former school mate and stalker Adrian Horne on cart in Pethy in 1995 when we did Jesters!!! Now how did we get on at that Carnival???? Ambition for the future – To win the Grand National will always be my dream, and to one day win as many badges on stage as Ollie does, I wish I had no talent but a nice smile. Next up is vice Captain Adrian Horne
Nickname – Horney Occupation – I go round schools (not like that Grover) showing kids what their teeth will look like without regular brushing and flossing Position in Club – Vice Captain, Leader of the Hobbits and oral hygiene specialist Year joined – 1982/83 Reason you joined – I really liked this boy from my village that I went to school with (he had teeth do die for, so big and shiny), so when he joined I knew it was my destiny. Involvement with Club – I stand in the electric shed messing around with Brush gear, but to be honest I haven’t the foggiest what I’m doing, and leave all the hard work to Guppy. Although I do make a mean cup of coffee. Favourite memory of your time with the Club – must have been when we stopped gremlins winning run in 1995 with jesters in my home town of North Petherton was great being on tha…….. Oh hold on…. Umm right then…… being crowned the shortest committee member of all time in a recent meeting Ambition for the future – for North Petherton to regain its title of inbred capital of Europe, and for height restrictions on fair ground rides to be abolished
