Just a heads up to all you competitors time to start fasting.  I shall book the Shrimper on my return from Glasgow.  Good luck to you all. :o

Well a wonderful group of 30 took part in the Pudsey Pig today and recent messaging on Facebook and the Forum set us to thinking who HAD won the Pudsey Pig in the past, so here is a roll call.  Trouble is it is not complete so any info to fill the gaps is welcome.

This list is not in order:-
Jim Lever
Brian Smethurst won twice, one before it was established as an annual event.
John Bunn won twice
Bob Worsley won 2015
Alan Grainger won before decamping to Kentucky
Cliff and Sue Booker won twice
John Dower won in 1994
Carole Kellett won twice
Diane Clement
Fermi de Sousa won in the International Conference Year
Ron Price
Jime and Wilma Wright
Doreen Mears came across from New Zealand to win it
Martin Rogerson
Robin Metcalfe part of the Yorkshire Mafia
Tony Stanley
Colin Dolding
and today Lance Carless won it.

It has been going for over 20 years and East Lancs members are very pleased that AGS members are happily carrying it on.
Congratulations to Lance- proof that hauling show plants around  gives one a good appetite  8)
