Friday 8th August  - The Great Wivenhoe Pram Race

This year's Regatta Pram Race featured many elaborately created and decorated "Prams".  The winning Pram was run by Jon Guy (dressed as Superman) and Peter Kerr (Batman) fashioned like a Robin Reliant in Dell-boy style!

The £50 prize money was donated to Addenbrooks. Last year's winner (Richard Horrocks) son George is currently being treated there.  The best fancy dressed prize of a bottle of Champagne was donated by the Black Buoy pub.

A record of 8 teams entered the race. All Prammers enjoyed themselves and all finished in good times and with minimal scratches!

Congratulations to them all.
