#22013-12-16 21:54It can't be cancelled. Will still be doing a pub fun run whatever. In costume, with beers in pram! I am sure I won't be the only one. It's been going for over forty years and has to keep going. |

#42013-12-16 21:58Windlesham pram race, is an essential part of the villages economy not only does it provide entertainment on Boxing day but it is quintessential to the economy of the village providing a significant income for the day and benefiting charities too. Taking this long standing tradition away would ruin the memories for hundreds. |

#122013-12-17 01:31How can you possibly believe that it is acceptable to take away an event that creates such a buzz for the public. It brings in revenue that is essential for the economy of our small village and not to mention raises a very generous amount for charity. It is a Christmas tradition celebrated by thousands each year. We pay taxes so why don't the police give us something back and steward the event themselves if members of the public aren't 'able'. Absolute outrage! |
