Organised by the Rotary Clubs across Scunthorpe and surrounding areas, the pedal cart grand prix took place at Grange Park Golf Club, Messingham, to raise funds for the Health Tree Foundation’s (HTF) maternity bereavement suite appeal at Scunthorpe Hospital.

Twelve teams made up of six to 10 members competed in the event. The keen pedal cart fanatics set peddled as fast as their legs could go in a 12 minute lap circuit, changing team members each lap.
