SIDMOUTH’S Tango Juvenile Carnival Club bagged its best-ever result in front of more than 100,000 people at a prestigious event last Friday.
The group’s fourth place finish at Bridgwater Carnival was its highest in the Juvenile Class.
The ‘Christmas ‘rock ‘n’ roll float’ had twelve youngsters on board and picked up a major prize during the November 5 fun.
‘This was a brilliant result for us,” said club captain Stuart Hughes. “We’ve been entering Bridgwater Carnival for many years and have always picked up fifth or sixth prizes. This year we finally cracked it and fourth is a great result when you see the competition.
