I can never find…

…a waiter that moves this fast.

So later the same day, I was assigned to cover a local Food & Drink Festival, and one of the events was a waiters race. This involved contestants carrying a tray of drinks along a picturesque little lane-way as fast as possible, while negotiating around some traffic cones. The drinks looked like red wine, but a little bird told me that it was in fact grape-juice, and the glasses were actually plastic. That’s good on two fronts – health & safety, and it would be an awful waste of a decent class of claret.

The final of the event involved 2 contestants, and both ladies. It must be a balance thing. All the men contestants had been eliminated. Maybe they’d been at the claret before the event.

Although I had a close-up of the finalists rounding a cone:

I actually prefer the image from further out. I think it’s the expression on the onlookers faces that make it:
