St Ives town councillors Jonathan Salt and Ian Dobson get covered in the custard pie fight.
THE weather may have thrown away the chance to set a new world record, but more than 100 custard pie fighters managed to throw 40 litres of custard and 50 litres of cream at each other on Sunday.
The St Ives Youth Theatre event was aimed at beating the current record of 648 pies thrown by 253 people, but the splatastic effort at the park opposite Slepe Hall fell well short.
The event, which was part of St Ives Town Council's silly games, which took place following the Olympic torch relay, raised almost £1,100 for the theatre group's latest production Bugsy Malone.
