I understand the issue of unavailability of large floats which clearly are a major part of a carnival but one year when we couldn't obtain a lorry we walked in the Procession. In the 1970/80's there would have been at least 5 or 6 bands, probably 10 majorette troups although many were not from the local are (perhaps Majorette Troupes are not as plentiful these days)
