WIMBORNE YOUNG COMMUNICANTS second photo of 1959 float


PH134

And here is the second photo of that RAFA carnival float showing the rear of the lorry. (Photo contributed by Marion (Hardy)

Changed times. In my later years I (Willy) have been involved with designing some huge floats here in Northern Ireland but kept coming up against the problem of insurance. It was very hard to find a company willing to insure people standing on a float. (usually the carnival organisers took this insurance on for all the entrants). Did we ever think of insurance? I doubt it. Just look at this happy gang of youngsters just waiting for an accident to happen. Ah the blissful ignorance of youth. Happy times.
