Fish Race May Day Monday

Hello Beckworth. I hope this message is finding you well. I have just remembered to send out this reminder that this bank holiday Monday (the day after tomorrow) your wonderful town council has found the funding to be hosting the annual Beckworth MayDay Fish Race. To be held on the fast-flowing River Winnet if we have a sunny day of sunshine, if not the race will take place in Beckworth High School’s unheated swimming pool. It will probably be a fun morning for most of the family, but I am under strict orders to paste in this message of warning: I must advise you to please remember to keep all cats and caged, fish-eating, birds indoor. As in previous years we have had some entrants eaten before the race had started.

And now a message to all competitors: Could you please be bringing your race-prepared fishes (You should all have been issued with your race colours and unique numbers to paint on the sides of your aquatic entry) to the Pamela Anderson Memorial Room in the library at 9:30 for the weigh-in. The race will start at 10.45 sharp from the Ginsters Bridge, and the starter this year will be local morning telly star, and one of TV’s favourite cat loving advertising men, Pip Schofield. He has promised he will be leaving his kitten at home and attending alone.

Thanking you most warmly. Aashif Ackworth. Mayor. Beckworth Town Council

Thank Cod For The May Day Fish Race

Hello all. Please note that tomorrow it’s the annual Beckworth MayDay Fish Race, and the good news is the bookies will be opening early so you can have a flutter on our scaley racers. So go on, treat yourself. The race is a must for all the family, but please remember not to bring any pet cats or kittens. We want to avoid any entries being eaten before and during the race, as has happened in previous years.

Competitors, please bring your race-prepared fishes (You should all have been issued with your race colours and unique numbers to paint on the sides of your aquatic entry) to the Pamela Anderson Memorial Room in the library at 12:30 for the weigh-in. Just to clarify, although sharks are fish they are still banned from the competition. The race will start at 2 sharp from the Ginsters Bridge, and the starter this year will be local celeb and TV’s Mr teetotal, Keith Chegwin (himself a big fan of angling). See you tomorrow, weather permitting (if it is stormy the race will take place in Beckworth High School’s swimming pool). G.Grimsby. Mayor

Bank Holiday Fish Races

Hello all. Remember that this bank holiday Monday brings with it the annual Beckworth MayDay Fish Race. A fun morning for all the family, but please remember to keep all cats indoor. We want to avoid last years fiasco whereby the competition favourite was eaten by a ginger tom before the race was even under starters orders.

Please keep an eye on weather forecasts, if it is stormy the race will take place in Beckworth High School’s swimming pool. See you Monday. G.Grimsby. Mayor
