Tuesday 10th June
Children's Gymkhana
The ever popular Children's Cycling Gymkhana, will be held at Dromara football club at 6.30 pm, Sponsored by Versatile Windows NI of Ballynahinch. Trevor, Martin & Derek are running the event. Prizes will be given to the 1st boy and girl in each of four different ages groups. Last year the event was a resounding success with around 80 children taking part, with all sorts of bikes including tiny trikes.. It was a sunny warm evening with the start time of 7 pm suiting all for a fun filled family evening.
Gymkhana is a strange name for this cycling challenge! The event comprised 5 separate timed courses cumulating into a total time. The Children were separated into 4 age groups, under 6, under 8, under 11, and under 14. The five timed events were, A: 50 metre sprint, B: stop box for 2 seconds, with a 3 second penalty if they touched the ground, C: slalom though cones, D: limbo under a suspended pole, E: Lift and place a small ball between cones, with out stopping.
A later extra only for the older ones, will be the see-saw.
So anyone who wants to lend a hand, come on down!
