Thanks to everybody who came to the dinner and trophy presentation on Friday and the Turkey Trot on Sunday for making it a great weekend.
It was great to see this year's championship winners being presented with their trophies and congratulations are due to all them for their success. Congratulations also to the winners of our extra trophies:
Paul Skipp - Marshall Of The Year
James Moorcroft - John Barton Award
Jamie Day - Batcotiques Trophy
Louis Poulter - Howie Chapell Trophy
Joe Walmesley - Matt Percy Memorial Trophy
Sam Webster - Club Champion
Thanks to Chris Rennison and Cathy Wellington for all the hard work they put into organising the evening.
Saturday evening featured a visit from the world of tractor pulling courtesy of the South West Tractor Pullers Association. A 2.5 ton, 1000 horsepower tractor was on display, and then started up as darkness came. Take a look at the amazing display below. The V12 26L engine in the tractor is from a Rover Meteor tank and has 2 spark plugs and 4 valves per cylinder (24 and 48 respectively in total). It runs on methanol of which it uses about 5 gallons in a 150m run (it also uses 5 gallons in the 4 minutes that this video takes to play!).

Sunday was of course the Turkey Trot. Thanks to Colin Clark, our on-site caterer for providing a prize of a turkey to the winners of each class! We also ran the first ever CPKC Wheelie Bin race during the day. Three heats were held at lunch time with the top two teams (consisting of a Cadet driver in the bin and two 'engines' - a Junior and Senior driver each - on pushing duties) from each competing in the final at the end of the day. Check out the video of the final, and the Wheelie Bin trophy presentation below:
