COLLATING the results of carnival can be a massive headache - but a new piece of computer software could prove a godsend for judges on Monday night.

Jan Paul, Highbridge and Burnham Carnival Association secretary, said as results are added in, the software automatically ranks entries in order.

Jan said: “Normally we have to do all the judging manually with pen and paper - so we are usually up into the early hours.

“We hope this will save us hours.”
