Eling Sea Scouts Donkey Derby
11:10am Monday 29th June 2009 in
SOME galloped, some plodded, and others stopped to eat the grass.
Donkeys might not make the most reliable racers, but they sure made for a lot of fun at the 14th annual Eling Sea Scouts’ Donkey Derby.
Around 2,000 people poured through the gates of Eling Recreation Ground, with young and old gathering to enjoy the sunshine, the racing and the other entertainment on offer.
Organisers from the pack, also called the 4th New Forest North, hoped to raise about £5,000, which will go towards building a new centre at Testwood Lakes giving boating facilities for the young and disabled.
