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.

 

Counting all the coins is nearly complete and it looks like the 700 or so runners have raised another impressive sum for local charities. The Committee will be finalising the numbers soon and are already taking requests from local organisations seeking funds, so get your request in to the Treasurer as soon as possible.

 

We must mention the winners of the event whose efforts were once again of the highest quality. They were:

 

The John Sanderson Trophy for the Fastest Pram:

Frimley BMF Babes - 32m 48sec

Runners up: Fabulous Baxter Boys   - 40m 29sec

 

The Best Dressed Pram Trophy:

1st: Scrabble   Led by Emily Thorne

2nd: Windlesham Gingerbread House Led by Tim McKechnie

3rd: The Night Led by Raymond Tregear

 

The Andy D’Agata Trophy for The Best Engineered Pram:

Concorde/Come Fly with me Led by Doug Smith

 

Highly Commended:

The Oxford Crew   - Becki Lomax

Poker Dogs - Dominic Michaelides

Green Bull Racers - Lightwater Scouts

 

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.

 

 

Work off the Christmas Turkey

 

The Pram Race is 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.
