The post you are reporting:
Diana, its not that much different now... I was at Sheppey Carnival on Saturday and stayed at the organisers house and the next morning whilst counting and sorting the collection there was a discussion running backwards and forwards about what to do next year, which floats worked.. infact if i remember some of it happened at 1am on that Sunday morning whilst its still fresh in the minds before we went to bed!!! . I can assure you that the entry forms have already have the alterations on, and there are notes on the computer so they remember what was good and what needed work on.
Loving the floats, just a shame that nowadays we have to walk the line up checking that everyone one has read the terms of entry, has got a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, no booze, and doesnt hinder drivers vision.. health and safety is a nightmare
Illegal street venders are also a massive problem, they take a lot of money from the town, are univited and if you approach them and ask for a donation they get quite shirty and threatened violence on Saturday
It isnt that much different in Dover... same systems in place , and same paperwork and compliance...
