Bangalow Lions Club would like to sincerely thank all of our superhero Volunteers and generous sponsors who helped make the 2025 Summerland Bank Bangalow Billycart Derby such a ripping day for our village.
The weather miraculously cooperated, the first aid booth was lonesome and all billycart races were run and won.
From our muscle men, women and kids who helped with the 700 hay bales and the 200 metres of crowd fencing – special mention to Rebels Rugby Club, Bangalow Runners, Steve Jarrett, Raj Singh, Dan Hill, Niall Carty and Andrea Smyth and all the hay carters for going above and beyond – well done guys !
To the start and finish line officials, the race day marshalls, our hardworking scrutineering and registrations crew, our brilliant three new race day announcers Mick, Wally & Dave – so professional and so helpful.
To Bangalow Men’s Shed & Bangalow Park Trust officials for wrangling the car parking and to many local shopkeepers, organisations, clubs and individuals who helped with preparations and on race day – and to Lions BBQ heroes – WE SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
🎉This was Bangalow Community spirit at its’ very best and we are just so lucky to have you all in our village🎉
We could really sense a great vibe from all the visitors and locals mingling together around the town – it’s just such a special event for Bangalow – take a bow folks !
