'Lennox Bravehearts'

The 'Lennox Bravehearts' team approaching the finish line with winners 'Flicks Chicks' very sportingly waiting to greet them - just a minute, it's not a welcome - it's an attack! All part of the fun and a laugh for the many spectators that came along to enjoy the day.

The team adopted the 'Bravehearts' theme and name as a result of an original idea from a team member.
The 'Lennox' is the local village public house where members of the team may be seen from time to time - hence the team name 'Lennox Bravehearts'
I suspect this team will be back even more determined next time - I certainly hope so, for they are a great bunch and good sports.


The idea of pelting the other teams with flour goes back some time. I tried to find the origins of this part of the event only to be told it happens everywhere and may have something to do with encouraging the teams to finish quicky to avoid being covered in the stuff - so there it is, I'm better informed but non the wiser. I think I now understand the meaning of 'flour power'
