The Donkey Derby will be returning as a headline event at Downley Day by popular request. We would like to invite local groups to enter a team of 4 individuals to take part in a 4 lap race riding a wooden donkey. We anticipate there being 2-3 heats of 3-6 teams culminating in a final race for the Downley Common Challenge Stakes. There is a short video that demonstrates how the race will work, to be posted here and on our local facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Downley.Community). Those interested in entering a team should contact info@downley.org. There will be a small entry charge of £12 to demonstrate commitment and to cover expenses.
21st June at 10.30am: Downley 5K run starting on Commonside. Entry forms available shortly at http://downley5.co.uk/
11th July at 6:30pm: Concert on the Common. Acts to be announced
