1. When preparing your entry, make sure there are no loose objects to fall or roll off and that it is not too high to interfere with flags or overhead cables.
2. When riding on the float in the procession
   Never ride on tow-bar or on tractor cab. Please check tow-bars and tow-pins – safety chains and clips are recommended where possible. Ensure brakes and tyres are adequate. children should be seated if possible, or given hand-holds/rails and adequately supervised especially when stopping and starting.
3. Please check your insurance cover is adequate. Special cover can be arranged with your insurance company.
4. Make sure the driver can hear or be aware of any emergency on the float.
5. All carnival entrants are requested not to throw water on any objects – Please remember that this is dangerous and that a lot of people have on their best clothes which could be ruined by the throwing of missiles.
6. When taking a float to and from the carnival
   Secure the float and make sure the driver can see to the front and to the rear. Any vehicles entered should be road legal taxed and tested. If necessary, provide an escort but under no circumstances is the float to be used as a method of transport to or from the carnival
