Carnival Entries

1985

Extract from the Somerset Standard

Frome celebrated the finale to its 1300 birthday celebrations in true Carnival style on Saturday to make the 1985 parade the biggest and best in many years. The Katchem Kwick Cops (banned last year as dangerous) were in the procession with antics as hair raising as ever. ARC Carnival Club re-enacted Napolean’s retreat from Moscow to win the Jennings Cup. BMX cyclists jumped over human obstacles and the Flying Corps of pilots and crew were bombing the crowds with water filled balloons. It was voted a very successful Carnival.
