Aliens Carnival Club - Club History

Aliens Carnival Club was officially formed back in 1995 by family and friends many of whom had originally competed in carnivals as individual walkers.( Click here to view ).

In 1995 the first entry was chosen and entered into the Wessex Grand Prix of Carnivals, with a group of masqueraders as Grease Lightning.
Over the next six years the club grew and was increasingly successful both in the Wessex and Somerset County Circuit and in 2000 we won County Cup in our class for our entry Mesheeca. We then took the decision that we would progress to a mounted entry and in 2001 we built our first cart, and entitled our entry Dancin. We followed this with an Egyptian themed entry Imhotep. This entry was very successful for the club, in 2002 we won 39 trophies.

Cinders was the title of entry in 2003, a cart designed on the fairytale Cinderella, unfortunately our season didn't start as a fairytale as we didn't make it to the first carnival of the year, Trowbridge, took our generator trailer to Mere Carnival and didn't make it to our home carnival of Frome, due to some unimaginative parking on behalf of a white van driver. But it all got better for Shaftesbury when we took the cart and generator, and our decorated towing vehicle was completed in time for Bridgwater Carnival.

2004's entry was entitled "Devils Nightmare" and it was! Our home town carnival of Frome was our first time out with the generator cart, we took the Decorated lorry and the Generator to Gillingham. The entire entry made its debut at Bridgwater Carnival in November. Another enjoyable season was had on the road all be it a little stressful at times.

2005 is our 10th anniversary, the build is under way, and we're busy fundraising for the entry too............ keep in touch!!
