I picked this Fosters Snowflake float from 1905 up at Redditch the weekend and had a go at making a replica. I am quite chuffed with the result.

I assume you've christened the one on the left Danny (DeVito) ... and the right Arnold (Schwarzenegger).

If the one on the left is the snowflake the other is definitely the snowball

I see, you set the rod up in rests, open the bail arm and give the float a good whack with a racket?

You have it right Jeremy, I did say earlier that John had "served up" a fine effort of a float!

What would you use the tennis ball float for? I'd like to know the story behind the snowflake float please.
