In 1988, the club moved its headquarters to the Kings Arms Inn, Leg Square and membership dropped slightly this year.In 1989, the club had to move its building site to Lamberts Hill Farm, on land owned by Mr Edward Stone.1990 was hampered by a break in at the building site at the start of the year which resulted in the loss of thousands of pounds of equipment. Later in the year, the club was told that it had to apply for planning permission and after just spending out to buy a tractor, this was a difficult year for the club with membership as low as 14.1991 saw 6 new members join and the entry 'Worlds Apart' was awarded 'Most Improved Entry' by Mid Somerset Gangs and Features and 4th at Bridgwater.The club decorated the tractor and generator for the first time in 1992 and were awarded 'Most Original Entry' by Mid Somerset Gangs and Features for their entry 'Statues of Rock'.

The club won 17 trophies with 'Inn Signs' and was placed first in class at Wells and Glastonbury Carnivals. Other trophies included 'Best Artwork', 'Tableau Pose', Best Dressed Tractor Driver' and 'Originality'.1997 saw the 10th Anniversary of the club, membership had swollen to 25 and produced another successful entry 'Kaleidoscope of Colour' which won 14 trophies including once again the County Cup for Best Dressed Tractor Driver.1998 was the most memorable year to date with the club deciding to build a shed in which to store and build the cart. The shed was built in 12 weekends far quicker than expected which was just as well as the weather for the rest of the year was terrible. The club was approached by its landlord at Lamberts Hill with an offer of purchasing an acre of land that the shed was on. With an offer of sponsorship from Dr Marten Shoe producers R Griggs and Co Ltd, the club decided to accept the deal. 

 2001 saw the clubs dream come true, but at the start of the year it was thought that we might not make it to carnival. Our fund-raising was hit by the foot & mouth crisis for the first part of the year and with no Glastonbury Festival funds were hard to come by. A good second six months saw the clubs fortunes turn a complete circle, money was raised and the theme was decided, it would be 'The Tales of Beatrix Potter' an idea by Jonathan Emery and Jane Loxton, a lot of hard work by everyone paid off as the cart was placed first at five carnivals and with a second and a joint first at the other two carnivals the club was awarded the county championship for tableaux, receiving the new Biffen 50th anniversary cup along with 27 other trophies from around the circuit this was to be Shambles finest moment.   

In 2004 Shelia Petherbridge decided to have another go at designing a cart. This time it was based on the books by Cicely Mary Barker all about Flower Fairies through the seasons. ''The Flower Fairies Collection''. Shelia also helped make the very bright and colorful costumes. Tony Marries spent 3 months making flowers, Carol Gooding spent 3 months painting all the different fairies, Bob Mcletchie and Dorcus Casey also spent months carving and making the giant swallows for this cart. Shelia’s partner, Dennis Clothier lent us one of his giant snails. Once again Shambles won the Originality Cup, also 2nd Best Costumes and second Best Artwork.2005 Dr Who landed! This was the idea of Tracey Witcombe who was an avid fan having watched it from when she was a little girl from behind the settee!
This was quite an adventurous cart with lots of models to build, which Tony Marries took on. The 9 Daleks were taken on by Alan Billing and were built to scale, also a big Tardis. On this cart we had a few new young members trying it out for the first time and doing very well. Dr Who came 4th overall and took 1st in Shepton Mallet!! along with best Tableau Pose and runner up in most original entry and music.

Bugsy Malone was our 2007 entry, this was a black and white theme and put forward by Ben Morgan. Based on the film in the eighties from the prohibition times 1929. A new roof was built this year, Sadly the old one starting to fall apart.
losing some members this year including our model maker, times were tough again . We took 5th in county and 2nd for lighting, and the Dave Gooding cup for best lighting at Shepton mallet!Up popped Mary Poppins in 2008 based on the old classic 1960’s film, this was the idea of Scott Witcombe. This year was extremely hard having extending the shed in Januaryit meant that we did not have long left to build a cart. Pete set about on the tractor roof tops and chimneys etc with Angie and Clare on the art work, Steve on the 15 kites and the rest set about building the cart and generator. Considering the stress and lack of time the club did very well this year taking 24 cups including Best Tableau Pose, won by John Flagg as uncle Albert, runner up Clubs Choise, Best Music, runner up for Decorated Tractor, runner up Artwork and the one that we were all most pleased with, a new cup in memory of Dennis Clothier Best Decorated Generator!  3rd overall taking us to the county dinner.
We also had a new tractor driver this year Andy Ollis (Jugsy) who did very well!

2010 Museum life was the idea of Tracey Witcombe. It is from a film all about a Museum in America coming to life at night and the historic figuers in the displays having a conflict with each other. The caretaker eventually has it all under control. All looked fantastic at Bridgwater, when we took a 3rd, 4th at North Petherton, but sadley at Burnam problems with the tracter, we got the welding done but still had a problem with the tractor losing power. Got it back to Shepton and was decided to go out with the complete cart, we came 2nd, but at the finishing line it lost power again. So the tractor was then abandoned for Wells and Glastonbury and then decided it was not worth traveling to Weston with half a decorated cart. What a pity as the cart was fantastic. Never mind we now have 2011 to look forward to. Priority to get that tractor serviced we do not want those problems again.After a few years of several members leaving, the club declined to the point where a drastic action had to be taken. After the 2014 carnival season the club took a decision to change from their traditional tableau cart to feature. The AGM 19th January 2015 held at the Dusthole, Shepton Mallet, saw a massive increase in membership, new life had put the club back on the map. There were a lot of clubs waiting to see what Shambles would be coming out with 2015. So now long gone are our tableau days, we are now known as a feature cart club.
