Until Straw Race day!
 

The 2009 Straw Race will be held on the 5th July - entry forms can be found in the 'Join the Fun' section

Preparations are well under-way for the 2009 Oxenhope Straw Race. The committee are busy making phone calls, writing letters, printing out leaflets, ordering straw and sampling beer. All this in the hope that this year's race will be the biggest and best yet!

There is only one fly in the ointment and that is there are too many jobs for the number of people on the committee. Please, if you can spare any time at all, either in the run up to the day on on the day itself, then please contact our Chairman, Ian Barrett on 01535 644796. We're a jolly bunch, honest, so why not come and join us and help raise thousands of pounds for some very worth while charities.

If you don't have the time to help with the organisation, then play your part in raising some much needed cash by entering The Race and collecting lots of lovely sponsorship. To enter simply download an application form, fact pack and sponsor form from the “Join the Fun” link. Join early and give yourself plenty of time to design and make yourself a fantastic fancy dress costume to be in with a chance to win the fancy dress competition.
