EDITORS COMMENTS
Competitors for the great Lawn Mower Grand Prix line-up on the Sands Hatch starting grid, eagerly awaiting the signal from Holmfirth Round Table chairman Mr Trevor Coldwell to kick off the thrilling race. The photo captures a moment frozen in time, as 20 skilled contestants prepare to showcase their speed and agility on the picturesque Sands recreation ground. This exciting event was organized by the Round Tablers with generous sponsorship from Whitbreads brewery, all in aid of raising funds for deserving Holme Valley charities. As spectators gather around, anticipation fills the air. Each lawn mower has been modified for this exhilarating competition - their cutting blades carefully removed to ensure safety while maintaining maximum speed. It's not just about horsepower but also skillful maneuvering that will determine who will claim victory. Adding to the festive atmosphere is Silkstone Band providing lively music throughout the day-long event. Alongside heart-pounding races, attendees can enjoy an array of sideshows and indulge in refreshing treats. This snapshot transports us back to September 1st, 1985 - a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era where community spirit thrived and unconventional sporting events brought people together. A true testament to West Yorkshire's vibrant history and its commitment towards supporting local causes.
