MendipVale

Mendip vale has steadily increased in strength since the early days, both financially and in terms of membership numbers. The whole year is structured around fund raising events and culminates in a great effort to build the float from the late-summer. Membership fluctuates from year to year. A low period was during the early 1990s when the club had only less than 20 members, whereas the late 1990s saw membership rise to over 40. The club’s strength has stabilised at around 25 members over recent years. Former members have often moved on to other clubs throughout Somerset, and past members can today be found in clubs such as Masqueraders, Globe, wick and Cobra The members’ current age range is from 14-63, and members are drawn from right across the area, coming from as far away as Burnham-on-Sea, Chippenham and Bristol.
