Well Done To All Involved In The 2011 Pram Race

Congratulations to all those who ran, watched, marshalled and generally supported the Pram Race again on Boxing Day, it was another big success. The weather was very kind and those who put their change into the collecting buckets were generous as always.

A big thanks to all our sponsors, the Police and publicans and to the organisations who provided marshals – the event couldn’t happen with out you and our local good causes would be worse off as a result. Thanks again.

Dishing the dosh!

The whole purpose of the Pram Race is to raise money for charity and the Committee is delighted to have been able to distribute over £8,000 to a wide range of local good causes again this year. This is a slighty smaller amount than last year but this is a reflection of the increased costs of running the event.

 

A full list of those who have benefited from donations is listed on a separate page of the website. For those wishing to be considered for grant of funds from the 2012 event, please make sure that you apply to the Treasurer early in 2013.

 

Of course, we always need help planning and running the Race. If you wish to volunteer on behalf of your good cause or would like to marshal on the day, we will make an additional donation to the local charity of your choice.

Work off the Christmas Turkey in 2012

 

The 2102 Pram Race will be run over 3.5 miles and is an ideal way of working off the excesses of Christmas whilst raising money for charity. Don that costume and get running!

Think you can contribute?

The Pram Race doesn't run itself, well not quite! As you'd expect after all this time we've got the organisation pretty much sorted. However, we are always making small changes to make the race run more safely, smoothly and with the minimum of disruption to the Village.

 

If you think you could contribute time, energy or ideas then the Committee would be very pleased to hear from you. We are always looking for local people willing to contribute to making the race a continued success.
