Gresford ready to race again!

The valley is all abuzz as we prepare to welcome back the much loved Gresford Billy Cart Derby on Easter Saturday, 8 April 2023!

Thanks to the amazing support of the Dungog Rotary Club, the billy carts will once again be able to race down Park Street to entertain locals and visitors alike. It’s not too late to start making your cart! The specifications and entry forms are all online on the website: https:// gresfordbillycartderby.wordpress.com

We are so excited to bring the races back and really hope the community comes out in force to support this great event after our Covid forced hiatus. There will be market stalls, vintage car display, live music and of course plenty of options for lunch!! The crowd favourite games will be back too - gumboot tossing, pony pat lotto and more!!

As always the proceeds of the day will be reinvested in the community - this year any funds raised will go towards the Gresford Mural Project helping to install art across our village and beautify local buildings and spaces!

The committee has been buoyed by the generosity of many businesses keen to support the event and get the races back on in 2023. A full list of sponsors will be published in the next edition, so you can support the companies that support us !!

Just a reminder to locals there will be some disruptions to regular traffic flow on Easter Saturday. Some setting up will happen on Good Friday but we aim to be as careful as possible to not disrupt your long weekend more than necessary.

All information about the road closures and set up and pack up periods are also on the website.

Get your pit crew together, tell your friends to come visit Gresford and get ready to race!! See you track side on Easter Saturday, 8 April from 9am! Follow us on Facebook for all the excitement and information in the lead up to race day!!!
