supporters attending last year’s event with free-entry and parking. The
dare-devil professional parachuting teddies, sponsored by local companies, jump
one-by-one from a Cambridge Aero Club plane into the skies over Pidley village;
each one focused on landing the nearest to the winning pot of honey. The event
has plenty of other competitions and activities going on while we wait for the
Teddy Bears to jump. Please bring your own well-loved teddy bears as supporters
and dressed up in a costume to take part in the ‘Best Dressed Teddy Bear’
competition. Gulliver, our giant straw teddy-bear, returns to help our mascot
Pidley Ted greet visitors as they arrive and Bomb Disposal Teddy Bear needs
plenty of help in defusing a package using our giant wire buzzer game. The
Somersham 1st Brownie Pack will be providing stretcher-bearer services and
first-aid to the teddies and thanks also go to Cambridge Aero Club and host
farmer Kelvin German at Rookery Farm for their contribution and help on the
