The annual sledging race in the Czech Republic was a spectacle of fancy dress delights. All competitors made great efforts with their fancy dress costumes. Around seventy-one teams of three took it in turns to pull an 8kg sled around the course.

Among the fancy dress ideas was an impressive pirate fancy dress crew. In pirate fancy dress costumes with pirate fancy dress hats and even a huge pirate flag attached to their sled they really looked the part. Teams in nurse fancy dress outfits, clown fancy dress costumes and leprechaun fancy dress all braved the cold and testing course. Another highly impressive fancy dress team were the astronauts. In white astronaut fancy dress outfits complete with helmets, back packs and even a rocket on their sled they looked great!

If the snow continues here in the UK maybe we could organise a similar competition……
