Can anyone tell me when The Crafty Raft Race changed its name to The Crafty Craft Race, and why?

Well, rather than shouting about it here you could contact the organisers of the event and ask them. I'm sure that if anyone would know, they would.

Sorry to wake you up, but I wasn't shouting,,,I'm in the library!
I don't expect they would know as they probably weren't out of nappies when it started! (Joke it!!)

Using CAPS is considered shouting on internet forums, and in emails etc.

There is a subtle difference between a raft and a craft. What do you think ?

I think, sorry know, it was initially called The Crafty Raft Race, but as they say....There's nothing more certain than change!
Was that quiet enuf?
Sorry once more but it wasn't the Library I was in, it was Smiths
Christ where have all those years gone?
Can anyone remember what the question was?

You are quite right of course...there is and so is there a subtle difference between an egg and a banana, but that still does not answer my question....

Well, if they were racing with eggs then it would be called the crafty egg race, but if they changed the rules so that you could race with eggs and banana  it would be called the crafty eggy banana race.
Are you related to GMR by any chance

Oh Brian what are u like? But pray tell me why it would include the word 'Crafty'?
A Crafty raft is a raft craftily assembled etc..etc
A crafty egg brings a lot to the imagination, but not quite within the scope we are talking..agreed?
No need for change.. A crafty Raft says what it does on the tin!!
And am I meant to know what or who the f--- GMR is or isn't????

speaking as someone who entered the very first Crafty **ft race in 196*........objections were raised by D.I.Y. enthusiasts,who built rafts of sorts,but were well beaten in the race by professional looking,much more expensive "boats"....so rules were made the following year and I think Judges were called on to see fair play........?

just for you,dodgy,,,,,,1965[about]
