It was the year that England won the world cup in football but more importantly it was the year that the Renegades Carnival Club was founded.

From humble beginnings the club has grown to be one of the largest and most attractive clubs in town with a site at the famous Carnival City, on Bristol Road in Bridgwater

There are around 60 members including life members and supporters.

This year the club have gone out to the Old Wild West where they've been inspired by cowboys and cowgirls, saloons and fire water for a real ho down of an entry. Based at the Vinos Ale and Wine Tavern they are hoping for good weather and an even better reception from the judges.

The club are in their 49th year since the club began, originally Wellworthys Carnival Club.

Next year they plan to celebrate their 50th year in style.

The club was also thrilled to be sponsored this year by Mattia Diner company.

The Food company have restaurants and food outlets located across Somerset.

The sponsorship received by them this year came at the right time when the club were desperately fundraising hard to build something exciting for this year's entry.

The club had recent success in the Carnival Concerts and celebrated a 5th successive year of coming in the top four and being awarded one of the top trophies.

The competition each year gets better and better so the club are honoured to still be competing among other talented clubs.
