Along with earning the title of the "2007 Persil World Egg Throwing Champion"
The 2007 Winners of the World Egg Throwing Championships are Adam Parker aged 15 from Martin Lincs & Chris Bowett from Walcott Lincs also aged 15. Apart from being top chuckers they are also in a rather fine rock band that played the venue.
The winner of the Egg Throwing with accuracy competition was Darrah Hardy, a local 9 year old, who won with an impressive 4 head shots, wisely choosing (although he may not have realised at his age the possible impact) to avoid the high scoring small "nether-region" target area of Stupid Steve.
The winner of the 2007 Egg Russian Roulette was top egg James Bamber, from wackynation.com. James and his partner had travelled up from Devon to take part and to undertake research for their website and book. James was an enthusiastic winner and has declared he will return to defend his title. He beat (with not a single hint of sorrow) Mrs Wendy Howell ( a really good egg, 63 years old and a grandmother) from Werrington near Peterborough.
Both the Swaton Vintage day and our selves are totally non-profit making organisations. All profit is given to local and nationwide charities. Last year we managed to raise £6000, £2000 more that the previous year, for such charities and this year aim to raise substantially more.
