0:11:55 > 0:11:59- ..all carried out - by the garage staff.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- We're checking underneath the coach, - checking the steering linkages.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- This needs adjusting - there's - a little too much on either side.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- This is the track rod and - we'll need to adjust it slightly.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Okay, Rhodri, let it go!

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- ..lining up for star roles in the - first local carnival for two years.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Some familiar faces have been - tempted into the judges' chairs.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- It's going absolutely wonderfully.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- The turnout is better - than we expected...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- ..and the girls - have worked very hard.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- It's really, really good.
0:17:35 > 0:17:42- I'm over the moon at the turnout. - It's really good.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- So Helen's happy with the response.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- But one of the judges - will have to keep a low profile.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- I'll have to lie low - for a month after this.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- No peeking!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- And now the choir disembarks - from the bus in Llanelli.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Now then, now then, - don't pull it too tight.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Have you seen Gethin?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- Have you seen Gethin?- - No.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- I think we're ready for the - competition - at least I hope so!
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- With four choirs competing, - tension mounts...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- ..as the time approaches - for Mynydd Mawr to go on stage.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Back in Tumble, the carnival's - royal family is about to be named.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Yes, they've done a very good job.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- The judges' work is done in Tumble.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- But the competition - isn't over yet in Llanelli.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53- ..as the carnival - fund raising continues.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Some relax while - others are on tenterhooks...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- ..waiting for the adjudication - in Llanelli.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- In first place - were Cor Meibion Llangwm.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- In second place, Aberystwyth.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- High commendation goes - to the other two choirs...
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- ..and so Aberafan and Mynydd Mawr - share joint-third place.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- A disappointing result - many would - say Mynydd Mawr were hard done by...
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- ..and their disappointment - is obvious.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- I don't mind coming third.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- He commended our choice of music.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- But I don't think the choir we were - joint-third with was as good as us.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Rather disappointed, but I was - pleased with their performance.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- But there's no denying the - other two choirs were very good.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- As the competition and analysis - goes on in Llanelli...
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- ..it's a big night in the Tumble and - the carnival coffers are bulging.
