Splendid Teapot Racing 
It would be great if there was some prizes for the U15 category. The kids put just as much effort in as the oldies. 🙂

Hi Karen, Yes, that is a fair comment. This was the first year we have had that many kids – which was wonderful to see. The Family prize does cover part of this. This was also the first year that we have ever had prizes, there certainly can be some tweaking.

Thanks, John, I appreciate your comments. Yes, we did much better, we took on board a lot of the feedback that we had from last year and changed a few things which paid off. I am glad that you enjoyed the afternoon. We do have to carefully maneuver around the prize’thing’it’s not a strong value of Splendid Teapot Racing. What we are encouraging is in the spirit of Donna Rose: accessibility, participation, encouragement, audience engagement and fun. we hope to see you next year. The emphasis will be on improving audience visibility for next year.
