Please find this activity commencing on 24th July 2021 on the CaB Playing Fields, immediately after the main announcements have concluded for the school summer fete.

Precise location:  between the bouncy castle and the stocks where the teachers are having wet sponges thrown at them.

Who can enter?  Anyone of retirement age and older may enter this tournament.  Participation is 50 pence each to be paid upon entry.



Please note:  while we are using the CaB Playing Fields at the same time as the local school, we are in no way connected to the school or endorsed by them.  Please do not take any of the free bottled water that is available to the families and teaching staff attending the school fete.

OAPs who have privately expressed an interest via direct message (Glebe, popcorn, ferrisbeuligndayoff and shiftwork2):  you do not need to "book an appointment" for this event; simply turn up on the day with your 50 pence and you'll be fine.

Why are you assuming you won't be allowed to join in?  Everyone has a spare 50 pence at home.

Bit wary of this. Lots of gossip and waffle goes on every year.

You are not meant to stray into the school fete zone.

Started a gofundme for the entry fee

Everyone has a spare 50 pence at home, though.  Are you sure you haven't checked?

competitors are deaf

Well they are extremely old.  What I tend to do is just shout very loudly - louder when bumming is in operation.

You would need to find a different coordinator.  I am responsible for only the OAP Competitive Bumming Tournament.

One 50 pence coin as silverware for how many shrews at once?
