Donkey Derby Farnborough
On Bank holiday 26th May its the annual Donkey Derby at the King George the 5th playing fields.
Always a great day out especially for the kids, but adults do enjoy themselves too.
I belong to Farnborough Rotary Club and am involved with the running of the event, in fact I am one of the 3, yes 3 announcers on the day. I’d much rather look after the donkeys, but they wont let me.
Yes I’ll be cheering on those donkeys as best I can after all, its just for charity. If you do go down to the races, don’t get in the way of those donkeys, cause they stop for no-one and they are extremely strong and trying to stop them after each of the 5 races is a job in itself, especially when you get a stubborn one who wants to do his own thing and they all follow, yep been there, done that and chased the donkeys.
So if you get a chance to come on down, bring your wellies, brolly and some warm clothing. After all it is a Bank Holiday in the UK and you know that this means there could be bad weather.
