Rotarian in Charge:

pramrace@lostwithielrotary.co.uk

Supported by:
Graham Rule, 07920 227238

We call on kids, adults and senior citizens, indeed anybody and everybody, to enter the Country Fryer Pram Race. Anyone can form a team of four, including sports teams, social clubs and groups of friends. Hopefully, you will all dress in riotous outfits and race your home-made wacky “prams” through the streets of Lostwithiel to compete for the most prestigious of awards on the World Pram Racing circuit – the 2018 Country Fryer Pram Race Accolade!

It is no exaggeration to say that the requirements of our insurers had put this year’s event in jeopardy. The Rotary Club has paid a significant additional premium so that this popular event can continue. Consequently we are having to impose new and strict rules which participants must comply with so that everybody can have a fun filled and safe event.

Teams should consist of four persons, one of whom must be in the pram and wearing a helmet at all times. There should be a minimum of four wheels on each pram and Rotary Stewards will be checking that the construction is safe.  Starting and finishing on Parade Square, the route will be the same as last year.

The Pram Race route may be downloaded here

There will be three races starting from Parade Square: under 12 years old (starting at 6:15pm) , under 18 years old (approx. 6:30pm) and adults (approx. 6:45pm). In each category there will be prizes for the winning teams and best fancy dress (prizes again thanks to the Country Fryer).  To be sure of taking part, your completed entry form, with parental consent where appropriate, must be returned to Fran’s Pantry or Penhaligon's Newsagents by 4:00pm on Tuesday 24th July.

The Pram Race entry form and rules may be downloaded here

We look forward to the usual terrific turnout of spectators and participants, and we are sure you will all have a great time.

We have changed the format of the carnival procession for this year.  There will now be five themed classes:

• Films
• Brexit
• News
• Soaps
• Motorised Vehicles

All motorised vehicles must submit their insurance details to Ann’s Gallery by 11am on 21st July. Unfortunately, vehicles will not be allowed into the carnival procession if we don’t have completed certificates back by then.

The Carnival Procession Motor Vehicle Certificate may be downloaded here

All procession entrants must be on the field by 5:00pm and be ready for judging at 5:15pm.  Prizes will be awarded before the procession moves off at 6:00pm (prizes for each class: 1st £20, 2nd £15, 3rd £10).

The procession route has also been changed. Starting from KGV, the procession will follow Liddicoat Road (A390) to Fore Street, go down around the Parade, across the bridge, over the level crossing and on towards Cott Road, where the procession will halt and about turn.  It will then return back over the bridge, along North Street, left into Church Lane, down Fore Street and finish on the Parade.

The entertainment will continue on the Parade from 8:00pm with music from Idle Hands and, of course, refreshments!  The evening, and carnival week as a whole, will conclude sometime after 10:00pm with a firework display that will launch from the King George V Playing Field.
