The bathtub race at The Black Rabbit

This was my third year of taking part, and what a year it was! The themes seem to be getting bigger and crazier with each year. We entered a team of 4 people in an acrylic bathtub, and called ourselves the Pompey Ninja Warriors – no guessing what our theme was!

And here is our tub in all it’s glory

Some of the best themes included a Tennis court, a floating castle with knights, and a roman chariot complete with 7 (hobby) horses. There was also an entry from Spirit FM who had a Baywatch theme, and Chestnut Tree House entered a team this year as well.

For those who don’t know the whole event is in aid of raising money for Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice, you can find out more about their charity here: www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk

A total of 36 teams took part this year, and I thought we had placed quite well until I was informed we actually came 24th! (oh dear!)

Well done to all the other teams who took part, it’s definitely one of my favourite days out of the year, roll on 2011!
