It's conker fun time

July 6, 2007

World Conker Championships 2005TW Blog has never made any secret of its interest in the more eccentric tourist attractions out there (see also 'Three cheers for quirky museums' and 'Chinese women's village developed for tourism').

So we were delighted to receive a press release beginning, "Join in all the conker fun at the World Conker Championships!"

The forty-year-old competition is being held on the village green in Ashton, Northamptonshire on October 14th and involves 300 contestants. Wonderfully, "the eventual winner is led to the Conker Throne and crowned with conkers."
