It was another fantastic Pinewood extravaganza! Topped off with a visit by our local council women, All the boys enjoyed a full day of racing complete with electronic scoring and big screen instant replays! And the winner had to be selected with a show down! It was an exciting day. Special thanks to Andy Zuch for providing the technology as well as all our other volunteers, including the Girl Scouts , for helping to make our day run so smoothly.

There were many great & imaginative designs. Every boy can be proud of their fine work!
Though only some won trophies, all the boys are winners. And thanks to the Girl Scouts for their help!
