THE man responsible for judging at tomorrow's Sidmouth Carnival hopes to "inject new blood" into the event with an open recruitment bid for anybody keen on casting a critical eye over this years' floats.

John Reese, who will take over the running of the carnival next year, hopes "people off the street" will come forward to act as judges and feels it will be of benefit to proceedings.

Budding judges who are available from 5.30pm to 10pm tomorrow can contact Mr Reese on (01395) 513508 or 07768 846138.
