Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 15, 2007, 22:39:27 "Three Bampton residents Arnold Woodley, Jack Horn and Reg Absolom formed the Bampton Pumpkin club in March, 1969. Every October there is a Pumpkin club weigh-in, where all contestants' Pumpkins are weighed, with the winner receiving a prize. The first ever winner of the club weigh-in was Joe Buckingham with a gourd weighing 51.5lbs. After the weigh-in the pumpkins, along with flowers, fruit and vegetables, are put up for auction. The sum of money raised is donated to the local pensioners."

Post by: glos_robin on Saturday, June 16, 2007, 13:23:41 That is nothing..........front page of our local paper last week was a story about how a pensioner got charged an extra 20p or something by the post office because a birthday card was a few CM's too big :|

To be fair, cheese rolling is quite good news.........the amount of injuries that happen is pretty spectacular, but insignificant when compared to a Pensioner having to pay an extra 20p for a stamp.
