CLOSE SHAVE FOR EASTER BUNNIES
The annual Froghill Rabbit Shaving Contest, held on Easter Monday, was a sure sign that spring has well and truly sprung.
Around 500 people turned out on Froghill Common to cheer on six sponsored strippers as they competed to see who would be first to bare their bunny.
The winner, 26-year-old Ainsley Rudge, sheared his animal in forty three seconds, a new competition record.
“It was a tight race," said Mr Rudge, "but, in the end, all those hours spent shaving in the shed paid off.”
For those spectators who found it thirsty work, there was beer and barbecued rabbit on sale at the Kings Arms.
A giant bouncy bunny provided fun and frolics for the kids in the pub's back garden.
Redfers Nuthatch, chairman of the Froghill Animal Research Trust (FART) said: "We raised an impressive £439.62 in contestant sponsorship.
"We’d like to thank everyone who made this such a memorable day.”
