Avon Dassett Soapbox Derby was an exciting day of thrills and not too many spills!
Around 3,000 people flocked to watch the 22 adults and 6 juniors brave the hills. Many of the karts posed some very fast times but there were also some very creative entries, making the judging of the Best Looking Kart competition very difficult.
Our junior winners were:
Devon and Alicia, our only two female entrants gave Freddie, our reigning champion a close race!
The senior race was closely fought with Brian Stanford hoping for a hat trick of wins. He was just pipped to the post by Rob Preite, who was third last year:
The best looking karts were judged as:
Junior: Tyler Hibbins Green in A Furry Tail
Adult: Matt Beaton in Not the Soapbox You’re Looking For
Stalls, fairground rides and face painting as well as the racing kept the crowds amused.
Hundreds of pounds were raised for charity including £600 for the Hub on the Hill and £1200 for the Children’s Christmas Wish List.
All photos were taken by our wonderful official photographer, Modern Parlance Photography
The first AGM of the Hub on the Hill will be on 23 June at 6.30 pm at the Reading Room.
For more information, see here.
A number of flower tubs were stolen from the village in May. The village rallied round with donations, raising £235.10 to replace them. Any surplus will be used to improve the village environment.
Many thanks to all who contributed!
