Hello all. Just a reminder that this bank holiday Monday it will be the annual Beckworth MayDay Fish Race. A fun morning for most of the family, but please remember to keep all cats indoor. We don’t want a repeat of last year when Robson Green‘s winning goldfish Rose was maimed by a tabby just after the medals were given out.

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 9:30 for the weigh-in. The race will start at 11 sharp from the Ginsters Bridge, and the starter this year will be local cook, and TV’s 2nd favourite Masterchef host, John Torode (himself a big fan of fish).

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

Hello all. I trust you all enjoyed the annual Beckworth MayDay Fish Race as much as I and weren’t put off by the anti-vivisectionist’s scuba division trying to delay the race by swimming with the racing fish. The event was only held up by 20 minutes whilst the protestors were caught by local anglers and there weren’t too many serious injuries. Congratulations to Robson Green whose pet goldfish Rose won the race in record time. It was the third time Rose had raced in the event but she’d never got a podium position before, so well done. Perseverance and daily training really paid off. G.Grimsby. Mayor
