I think they were to raise money for charity and the smashing was done by teams from schools or youth clubs??? I remember watching one such competition on Heanor Market Place and it was quite a big event. Several old pianos were on the Market Place and teams were timed on how long it took them to demolish a piano into firewood. Anyone know what that was all about???[/quote]
