“King Alfred gave us Pewsey Feaste, fun for all that’s sure,
One half day is now two weeks – will posterity have more?”
Pam Carder

do we now just register for the wheelbeero race on the night? or as in previous years can we register early? it isn’t very clear on this website.
Admin: The last I heard, as blogged on ‘PADFAC Press’ and on ‘Entry Forms’ page, arrangements were to be “as previous years” – except for the insurance waiver that must be signed at witnessed on the night. If anyone else knows any different please comment and I’ll update the site …
This year you will need to enter on the day. It will be in the Bouverie Hall from 5pm onwards. Any barrows with generators will need to bring an insurance cover note for public liability and carry a fire extinguisher.
Children’s Carnival was great, a big step-up from previous years. Thanks to everyone involved. A few pics from the children’s fancy dress parade (some taken by my son, Ben):
