Burnham-On-Sea Carnival Results 2005: Lion King scoops top prize
Ilminster-based Gemini Carnival Club took the top award at Burnham-On-Sea’s 58th annual carnival with its enchanting float called Lion King The Show.
Although there was a mix-up over where the participants were able to get off their carts at the end of Monday’s parade, the provisional results released late on Monday night (November 7th) stand as final.
There were concerns that because several clubs dismounted from their carnival floats before the official finishing position, they would be disqualified or drop points, but this issue was resolved by the carnival committee at a meeting the following night.
Gemini CC were delighted with the final result and president Dave Phillips said: “It’s a very pleasing result. We are very chuffed with how it’s gone.”
