Karting Endurance!!

On Wednesday 25th November we headed to Raceway in Pontefract, the usual venue for the ‘Area 9 Karting Grand Prix’. Realising we could do with a little practice we ventured over for an evening of fun.

If you’ve tried karting before you’ll know it’s great fun but rather hard work. A typical race lasts 5 to 20 laps. So, after a long day at work and a little discussion we went for the 100 lap endurance race! Genius!

Cosmic Golf versus Sitlington Round Table

Ossett and Horbury Round Table challenged local friends Sitlington and District Round Table to a 'Cosmic Golf' tournament on 28th October. Cosmic Golf is like crazy golf, although in 3D and indoors.

6 members from O&H, and 4 members from Sitlington played 18 holes, and the winning Table would be the one with the lowest average score.

After 18 holes, Sitlington had an average score of 67 shots, with Ossett and Horbury being victorious with 62 shots. An excellent evening all round, and we're looking forward to next year's comp
etition.
