SUMMERLAND CREDIT UNION BANGALOW BILLYCART DERBY 2018 It’s on again this weekend. The billycarts wiil thunder down the main street of Bangalow in this special community event. This year Summerland Credit Union have come on board as the major sponsor of the Derby, which will be a welcome injection of funds for the not-for-profit groups that benefit from the donations raised on the day.

The Billycart Derby is a wonderful example of a community event because there are no barriers to entry. It showcases good old-fashioned fun regardless of age or status. Everyone can take part whether as individuals, families, workplaces or schools. This year we have introduced the Men’s Shed Challenge; with over 16 sheds in the northern rivers zone, the competition between sheds should be intense. The primary schools challenge will have $1,000 up for grabs spread over a number of categories with prizes going to the school P&C Associations. There are races for everyone – boys and girls from five years of age through to ‘opens’ and celebrities. Other billycart categories range from traditional, homegrown, to professional and novelty where anything goes, so let your imagination loose.
All carts need to have good brakes, safe steering and weigh less than 75kg. For additional specifications and race rules please download from www.bangalowbillycart.com.au. It’s Billycart - avoid the street closure
SUNDAY - OPEN FOR LUNCH FROM 12pm STOCKPOT KITCHEN Barbecue Smoke House & Southern Fried Chicken
All your favourite activities will once again be happening at the Bangalow Billycart Derby, including the lunchtime parade starting at 12.30pm. Any group wishing to participate should contact Richard Millyard on 0428 573 511 or 6687 1540 or richard@pegron.com and reserve your spot. As well there is the Pit Stop Fair at the Bangalow Primary School to entertain the kids and graze at exotic food stalls. There will be circus displays and musicians to entertain throughout the day, and don’t forget the Lions Club barbecue for a tasty sausage or steak sandwich. This event relies totally on community support, so if anyone is interested in doing some voluntary work on the day, no matter how small, please register through the Bangalow Billycart Derby website or leave your details on the volunteer list at either the Bangalow Newsagency or the Bangalow Post Office.
