The SPARXZ  Beetle Drive and Pie and Pea Supper on Saturday 24 March saw the Kepier Hall full of folk eager to roll the dice and draw a beetle!  The fast paced excitement was thrilling if not perilous to view! The photos do not do justice to the  atmosphere of competition that filled the hall, a competition that was finally won by Darren Snaith.

It was wonderful to see young and old having a great time, with lots of laughter and happiness filling the Kepier.  A big thank you to Sue Elsey and the Next 900 Team for the pie and pea supper, which was excellent and much needed after the rigours of Beetle. Thank you to SPARXZ for a great evening and congratulations for raising £350 for the Boiler Fund.

If Beetle were an Olympic sport Houghton might be sending a few competitors to London 2012!
