 Mammoth Jumble Sale held at the Bath and West Show Ground 2002/2009

For Many years now we held our Annual Mammoth jumble sale at The Bath and West. This was been the main source of income for building our cart each year. It took a good 3 months of organizing, from Christmas to the beginning of April, when it was usually held. We distributed leaflets in Shepton Mallet and the surrounding villages and arrange a date for the area collections. This took a lot of man power. The collecting did not stop there, it all had to be stored and sorted until the day of the sale. A week before the Jumble Sale, with many volunteers, the Showering's hall at the Bath & West was transformed into a massive furniture, brick-a-brack, clothes, household items, books and toy warehouse, this was a sight to be seen. Any items unsold had then to be disposed of, much of which went to the Salvation Army. Unfortunately due to lack of volunteers, it was not possible to continue.

MORE TROPHIES THAN MANCHESTER UNITED 2008

 Shepton Mallets Shambles Carnival Club has plenty of cups with which to celebrate its success on last years (2008) circuit, 20 in fact. Members proudly showed off the results of their efforts at a get together at the Shepton Con Club on Sunday night. Club chairman Alan Billing and cart designer Scott Witcombe said they were '' over the moon'' with the performances and hard work all the members put in to last years Mary Poppins float. The club was delighted to be awarded 20 cups, one of the best results for many years and were particularly pleased to be awarded the Best Decorated Generator cup at the Gangs and Features dinner in January. The cup was in memory of the late Dennis Clothier who over a number of years had been a very great friend of the club in so many ways. The cup was presented by his partner Sheila Petherbridge, who too is highly regarded by the club.*
