And PG keeping the Eagles end up with sterling commentary

Sandfield finally got the hang of it
 

Briskly followed by the older children of Holy Trinity who had a much more gung-ho approach to pancake racing and there's that dragon messing around again
 

Thanks go once again to our sponsors, without them the races would not be the event they are:

Waterstones

A Saturday night in the bridal suite as a star prize

Going flat out in the Mandolay Sprint
 
And just as things were settling down, the town centre manager sneaked past, frying pan in hand, wearing a really pretty hat.
And so the trend was set - Ascot anyone?
Scorcher goads the Womble
 
Undeterred the Womble gets some help Scorcher soon tears down the track but is disqualified for ditching his frying pan
The Mascot Race

Every picture tells a story.  And this is where Scorcher got his comeuppance

 

And this all resulted in the big sulk
Never mind Scorcher there's always next year
 
 
The Housewife's Race

After the vet had taken care of Scorcher it was time for the final event - the prize; two weekend tickets to Guilfest courtesy of Tony Scott

High Fives for the happy winner
