Romsey Go-Kart Race

Three Scout teams from 3rd Romsey Scout Group entered this years Carnival Go-Kart Race in Romsey.  Themes were decided and pimping of go-karts undertaken.  With costumes on we suddenly had Sunnyside - Toy Story 3, Festival Fever and Up, Up & Away from the film Up!  Make up for the old man was good - or we have VERY old Scouts these days!

The evening was slightly damp when we arrived at Alma Road car park ready to be judged on the best decorated go-kart prior to the off.  However, this did not dampen our spirits!  The route was memorised, parents sent out to check they went the right way - the route was then changed...... then they were off!

Down the car park and then round the town and back to Alma Road car park.  They all went flying round - not all in the right direction, and not all under total control - but great fun was had by all, and they all made it back in one piece!  Congratualtions to Sunnyside for coming first with Festival Fever close on their heels.  Up, Up & Away won best decorated kart - well done everyone!

Thank you to the carnival committee for putting on the go-kart race – it was great fun and all teams enjoyed taking part!  It was great to have an event for the under-16’s to take part in during the Bed Race evening - we can’t wait to take part again next year!
