Fish Past The Post

Hello all. Well, I think we’d all agree that a wonderful morning was had by all who attended today’s Beckworth MayDay Fish Race on a fast-flowing River Winnet, it was certainly a nail biting race. After a stewards inquiry the winner was declared to be Norma, a thoroughbred pike raced by the Neston family stables. If you’re inspired to race your own fish, you’ve got 365 training days until next years race. G.Grimsby. Mayor

Fish Races. Plaice Your Bets

Hello all. Remember that this Monday it’s the Beckworth MayDay Fish Race, and today is the last day to have a flutter. Go on treat yourself. See you Monday. G.Grimsby. Mayor

PS A note to competitors: Just to clarify, although sharks are fish they are banned from the competition. Who can forget the race of 2005 when a shark called Norman won because he had eaten the rest of the “field”.
