Denmead Scouts Dinosaur Derby - September 2008

It was ready, steady... stomp!
Scouts were busy raising money for their group with a dinosaur derby.

As the Denmead Scouts don't hold traditional fund-raisers like jumble sales, Sunday's annual dinosaur race event was the only chance they had to raise much-needed cash.

The event attracted more than 500 people and raised just over £3,000.

Scout Troop Leader, said: 'It is our only fund-raiser, so if we don't make money here we can really struggle.'

The Dinosaur Derby had to be moved at the last minute to the Scout hut in Kidmore Lane, Denmead.

The heavy rain which fell on Saturday scuppered plans to hold it at The Lawns.

There were various activities held throughout the day to help the group's push for funds.
