Well done to Ben Chadfield on his latest successes. Ben won the Allyen Hardy Rosebowl for the best hedge growth at the Brailsford and District Ploughing & Hedge Cutting Society match. This was from a hedge Ben laid last year.
He achieved 2nd place in the Meynell and South Staffordshire Hunt hedge laying competition and also won the best hedge growth prize.

Bluebell Inn supports the Strongman
Posted in Competition, Eating Out on Thursday September 22, 2011| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to Rick G for this post.
We want to offer our thanks to the Bluebell Inn for donating the first prize in the Parwich Strongman Raffle.
We do have a vested interest in that we won the prize and ate it last night!
We were very favourably impressed: pub staples, but well produced: local steak, lamb, sausage, chicken etc. A particularly nice touch was the surf and turf: our onion rings turned out to be calamari, even though these aren’t on the menu (caused some hilarity in the kitchen). The wine list has had some thought put into it too. All the staff at the inn were friendly and helpful, so well done all round.
Never eaten there before, but we’ll go back.
The Strongman Competition – Video
Posted in A52s, Competition, Events, People, Photography on Wednesday September 7, 2011| 1 Comment »
Many thanks to Tim Yeomans for videoing last Saturday’s outstanding Strongman Competition. Tim has edited the whole three hour event down to a marvellous 10 minute film which captures the spirit of this event; the strength and determination of the competitors, the music of The A52s and the enjoyment of the crowds. Let’s hope that this event becomes a regular part of the village calendar.

Do you think they are for buttonholes or hats? Anyway – we’ve missed the wedding now.
Our estimed photographer and judge, JF-S, has consulted with certain independent sources and this caption by Patti B wins first prize.
JF-S is quoted as saying,
I thought many comments showed agility of mind and clever touches of humour.
