Evidence of Catterline's growing reputation on the world soapbox cartie stage was dramatically demonstrated today with the announcement that world famous racing car manufacturers Ferrari will be entering a team in this year's Catterline Cartie Challenge.

They have been keeping a close eye on developments in soapbox design and have seen the recent successes of teams such as Lotus and Honda in other events. A spokesman said "We have noted with interest the improvements that some of our rivals have achieved in handling and aerodynamics, not to mention the increased bravery of their drivers, and we attribute this directly to their involvement in events such as the Cadwell Park Gravity Festival, the Belchford Downhill Challenge and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We have decided to compete at Catterline in order to make sure we develop our skills in all areas of our sport."

From the forum;

"There has been a lovely black and white cat with a pink nose going round Trelong Row for a couple of days. I have fed him and he is extremely hungry and quite thin.

...

Please, does anyone know of a missing cat or of anyone who could provide a happy home for this homeless kitten cat? Otherwise I have to put him back where I found him which I'd hate to do in this weather. "

The St Patrick's Day quiz in the Creel in last Monday was very closely fought, with "Cisco" coming through strongly in the final rounds to push "Paddy McGinty's Goat" and defending champions "Monotreme Quartz" into second and third place. Both "The Quartz" and "The Goats" had led the field during the night, but a perfect 20 in the sports round put Cisco in poll position, and they just managed to hold on in the last three rounds to claim the prize.

The prize for the best team name was awarded to "Paddy McGinty's Goat". 9 teams took part, with all proceeds going to CLAN.

The 25th entry for the 2008 Catterline Cartie Challenge arrived his afternoon, which means that the official limit has now been reached and any further entries will go on the reserve list in case any places become available between now and the 14th June. There has been far more interest in the Cartie Challenge than in previous years and the places have been snapped up much quicker - this time last year we had just 10 confirmed teams, but we now have a record number of entries in just 2 months.

If you were hoping to take part but did not submit your entry in time, please send one in anyway but without the fee. We'll put you on the reserve list and will be in touch if any places become available, and we will also get in touch with you next year to give you an advanced reminder.

The 2008 Cartie Challenge promises to be a great weekend. The strong local feel of the event remains as nearly all of last year's teams will be taking part again, but there are also several teams that will be running at Catterline for the very first time - some travelling hundreds of miles to take part.
