Well done Andrew, taking part in the carnivals is good fun. A lot of work can go into the floats, but its all about people from the village getting together. Cant beat friendly competition !

This is from the snaps kindly given to RWard by Scania Cardiff. I assume this 111 would have been running from Alcan’s Rogerstone site.

hi neil,
the theme on my trailer was also “grease”,they even had a fiat punto convertible car on the centre of the trailer,which slipped off the home made forks attached to a jcb when they lifted it off last night .
here are a few gah1950 kindly sent,when he loaded the hitachi 1900 last week .

Hi Smallcoal, yes Echo one- ccc did drive for Catnic.He was one of the best and we worked together for 20 yrs. I knew him for 35 yrs he was mad as a hatter, I loved him to bits. The other two drivers you can see on photo were Brian King standing up and Ronnie Hodges sitting in the cab of echo one’s Scania 82m ,two of the best blokes you could possibly meet. Best years of my life working with those guys, there were about 25 of us on a brilliant job. Sadly six have passed on now. Echo one is probably selling cb’s to everyone up there. RIP lads, regards Rowland.
