2012 Guy Competition
As part of this year’s bonfire celebrations, Hexham Round Table will be judging a Guy Fawkes competition on the Sele on 5th November. The competition is open to children of age eighteen and under at schools in and around Hexham, and Scout/Guide groups.
The aim of the competition is to focus the children on the history of the bonfire celebrations as well as to attract them to the annual display in the town.
Please follow these simple guidelines to ensure that the Event remains a safe family highlight of the Hexham Town Calendar:
The rules are simple:
- Each guy should be created of legally combustible material, i.e. we don’t want anything that may cause a health hazard, such as bicycle tyres or fireworks hidden inside!
- As such we will request some form of parental acknowledgement or sign off of what their youngster has produced, or if the guy is produced at school, the appropriate staff member could vouch for this
- Entry Forms can be downloaded at http://www.hexhamroundtable.org.uk/entry.pdf
- Completed guys, of whatever size and shape, should be delivered to the bonfire site on the Sele between 1pm and 5:30pm on Saturday 6th November where a Round Table member will put them on display.
- An Entry form should be completed for each guy, if possible, please attach in a clear plastic bag (food bag is ideal) if it is wet will still be able to read your entry form.
- At 6pm approximately, Round Table will judge the guys and announce the winner or winners. Small prizes, probably book tokens or cinema vouchers, will be allocated to the makers of the winning guys, and some financial award will also be given to their respective school or scout/guide troop or youth organisation.
- The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
After judging and distribution of prizes, all guys will be placed on the bonfire in readiness for it being lit at approximately 6:30pm. If you require further information or clarification, please feel free to contact Hexham Round Table ( info@hexhamroundtable.org.uk )
