I have packed, a Mother a Daughter a lobster and a couple of neighbours. Do you think that will be enough?

Sad that we had to sneak off early, but a damn fine weekend and massive thanks to the fforganisers. We do have to ask who won the fancy dress? And who came second? And did the Isle of Wight win or were we robbed by some kind of outrageous cheating?

Moose Haversaham won, with the Mime Field a wonderful second.

Lovely to meet you - lookng forward to the pictures...

Obviously the Isle of Man won.

The Isle of Man???? How on earth did that happen? Some kind of massive conspiracy is the only logical explanation. Did the Isle of Wight's purchase of a team member for 1p hold up in court?

Mrs O also wants to know where Mercia came in the rankings. I've explained that that would almost certainly be last, but she just won't accept the truth.

(Will be trying to sort the pictures out in the next few days.)

Mrs O here,

Mr O wouldn't let me post on his for fear I would delete some. not that we are competitive at all.

who else won what??

And thanks again to the Fforganisers and to all the other good and slightly wacky folk that made the weekend.

off to buy a plate holder to display our lobster spotting trophy, nicely (and truthfully) described by Katie as my OCD prize.

By thinking outside the box with a truly genius idea. Nobody could even come close to their 32kgs for under a pound

I'll bite. How do you get 32kgs for under a pound?

Abolishing Mercia is the only kind thing to do.

And yes geg. The pics work fine even for me who doesn't have a facebook account.
