Four teams of six men contested a piano smashing contest at the Cross Keys, Derby Road, Heanor, on Sunday. The teams were: 1, Taghill Tigers, 2, Cricks; 3, Cross Keys; 4, Alida, and their times were 14 minutes 21 1/2 seconds; 7-50; 5-33 1/2; and 6-20 respectively. The event was planned when Mrs Richardson, of Loscoe, heard of the forthcoming bonfire on 5 Nov and offered Mr. Tom Sawyer of Abbott Street, Heanor, a piano which could be used for bonfire fuel. Afterwards other pianos were offered and the contest was organised. The three winners of the competition nearest the time were K. Crabb (Vic Hallam), P. Sawyer, Abbott Street, Heanor, and R. Jones (Vic Hallam). Despite the weather on Sunday 100 people turned out to watch the action and were kept warm by the enthusiasm of the competitors. Thanks are extended to Tony and Carol, landlord and landlady of the Cross Keys, and to the committee who staged the event and to all who made such an amusing event possible. On Saturday 5 November, a bonfire will be lit at 7 p.m. and a firework display will follow, with all the usual “trimmings” for bonfire night. Proceeds from the piano smashing competition will be used on Saturday to provide amenities for the children, who attend the bonfire. Secretarial duties were carried out by Mr. Rex Pilbeam.
