Deep in the bowels of Carnival Committee Headquarters, fevered brainstorming led to a radical change in location and setup for this year’s ball race. Light, flimsy plastic balls were jettisoned in favour of sturdy tennis balls – Andy Murray no longer needs them! Gone also were the low-tech crates used last year to hold and release the balls. This year’s solution was…….a digger!!!! Never let it be said that the Committee doesn’t think big!

The location was upgraded to the hill between Parwich Hall and the Old Shop. Proper planking had been brought in as well, making for a technically flawless race. The balls were released…

…down the hill they raced….

…into the funnel they sped….

…and the winners were…

1st: Ball 335
2nd: Ball 60
3rd: Ball 478

One of the winners had invested their Treasure Hunt winnings in the Ball Race. That’s what we call lucky!

Thanks to everyone who organised the event and to all those who ‘bought’ balls. Great fun was had by all.
