2018 Pram Race - We Need Your Help

For several years the same small group of volunteers from our community have helped prepare and run the Pram Race on Boxing Day. Our plans for this year’s race are underway but some of that group are not available.

 

To raise similar funds in 2018, the committee needs a minimum of four adult volunteers who can give some of their time in December working with us to complete the final race preparations and to help deliver the event safely on Boxing Day.

 

Community events don’t run themselves so if you can help us deliver Pram Race 2018 please contact me as soon as possible at chairman@pramrace.com

2017 Pram Race Beneficiaries

The Windlesham Pram Race is run each year with the sole purpose of raising money for a wide variety of deserving causes in the local community. After retaining sufficient funds to prepare for the 2018 race the trustees are distributing over £9,300 to a wide range of local organisations. As in previous years, a significant portion was allocated to the local organisations designated by the excellent volunteer marshals who give up their time to make the race happen.

Couldn't Do It Without Our Sponsors

The security, stewarding and equipment costs of operating the Pram Race safely continue to increase. We would not be able to distribute so much money to the community without the amazing of our sponsors, Strutt & Parker, and the other organisations like Balfour Beatty, Howard’s Self Drive, Kamkorp Park, Kircher Building Services, St John’s Ambulance and especially Wooldridge that continue to provide such generous support for the race. In addition, each of the pubs and The Club contributed to our costs of delivering a safe and fun event.
