Donkey Derby runners needed

A Donkey Derby is planned for the RNLI Festival at Overwater Marina on 4th September.

There are to be 6 races, each with 6 donkeys. The organisers already have sponsors for each race and are seeking sponsors for each of the 36 donkeys – many of which have already been taken up by local individuals/businesses.

There's £15 fee for each donkey – this is after all a fund raising weekend which should also be lots of fun.

What organiser Joe Hoyles needs from sponsors is a name for their donkey, its sire by and its dam out of – the funnier/more unusual/Audlem appropriate, the better.

If you are interested, do let Joe Hoyles know at:
