On this for me, bonus edition of the show, I was privileged to be joined by the president of the Rotary Club of Billericay, Mike Sinclair and Head of Publicity, Trevor Bond.

And they came armed with the exciting news that following the success of their first SoapBox Derby, they will be holding a second SoapBox Derby on Bank Holiday Monday 1st May.

Last year’s event raised £26k for charity so they are hoping for even better things this year. Beneficiaries this year include two local schools, Hamelin Trust and Little Havens Children’s Hospice, Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), Aquabox and Rotary Foundation – End Polio.

In addition to the races there will also be a raft of side shows.

Tickets for spectators if purchased in advance are priced at £3 per person; Family tickets (Family of four, 2 adults & 2 children) £10. Two years and under – free. But note that on the day itself no family tickets will be available and the individual price goes up to £5 per person so it makes sense to get your tickets in advance.  

To get your advance entry tickets go to https://www.rcbSoapbox.co.uk or by pressing on the “Buy Tickets” button on the club website home page https://www.billericayrotary.org. Tickets are also available from a number of shops and pubs but note that anyone buying on line and by sharing the fact that you’ve purchased your ticket on line on Facebook, will have the opportunity to win a £250 donation to a charity of your choice.
