Raft Race and Tug of War competitions get Cromer in the Carnival spirit
Covering Cromer, Mundesley, the Runtons and surrounding villages in association with the North Walsham Times and Sheringham Independent
Crowds lined Cromer seafront on Sunday 7 July to watch teams battle it out in Cromer Carnival’s Raft Race and Tug of War, which are seen as appetisers for the main Carnival celebrations.
On a hot and sunny Sunday three teams entered the Raft Race and were challenged to build a raft from barrels, wood and rope, paddle it around two buoys and make their way back to shore in the quickest time possible.
The annual event for the Carnival, which has been revived in recent years, got both tourists and locals into the Festival spirit.
The raft race was won for the fifth year in a row by Tiny Timothy Bateman’s 40th Birthday Tribute Team – captained by Tim Bateman from Cromer with Neil Coston, Liam Wade and Peter Skillen.
