World Conker Championships

Starts: October 14, 2018 at 9:30 am
Ends: October 14, 2018 at 4:00 pm

The 2018 World Conker Championships takes place on the 14th October, in the grounds of The Shuckborough Arms, Southwick, near Oundle, Northamptonshire. It starts at 9.30 and finishes approximately 4pm.

This competition, which has seen a number of Geddingtonians not only take part, but winning as well! is organised by Ashton Conker Club and has taken place since 1965.

This year, however, due to the unusually hot and dry weather conditions, the championship committee may have to import conkers from Germany as the heat has made the conkers grow too quickly and are smaller than usual.

The event has a mixture of adult and junior competitions. These both operate as round-based knock-out games, until a winner is found and crowned on their throne.

If you are interested in taking part, or just as a visitor, then go to www.worldconkerchampionships.com where all the information for doing so can be found.
