Hedgelaying Competition

November 8th, 2018

The first hedgelaying competition of the Lancashire and Westmorland Grand Prix took place in Arnside last weekend, organised by Arnside and Silverdale AONB. 16 competitors turned up bright and early, with a hawthorn and blackthorn hedge ahead of them to lay. A good day with the forecast rain holding off til 2pm and spirits kept high with platefuls of cake leftover from lunch. Tim Farron came along to present the prizes, thanks Tim! Well done to all of the competitors, you’ve produced a beautiful looking hedge, and it was really impressive to see the skills involved.
Particular congratulations to the category winners:

Starter: Pete

Junior: James Dodgson

Novice: James Yates-Bell

Open: John Gibson

Championship: Craig Proctor
