World Black Pudding Throwing Championship…
In American baseball, the championship game between the nation’s two leading teams is given the faintly ridiculous title of the “World Series.”
Well, anything America can do, Bury can do better (apart from, perhaps, sky scrapers, nuclear weapons manufacture and space exploration), as we will prove this Sunday when hosting the World Blackpudding Throwing Championships.
The event, said (by nobody but me) to be bigger than the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup combined, is organised by Stubbins Community Trust, and will take place this Sunday on Bridge Street Ramsbottom outside The Royal Oak Pub. Rumour has it that the Maracana in Rio was closed for cleaning.
The “Lob off” commences at 11 am and will finish at 4 pm.
“Pudstock” (the wonderfully-named bandfest in the car park at the rear of the Royal Oak) kicks off at 1 pm with Sugar Bullets followed by Pie then Roots Cafe, Mooly bloom, Big Lix, UkePunk, The Rolling Stones*, Point Blank, Well Said and all held together by the brilliant DJ Mart. Pudstock will finish at 10pm.
A great family day out, including stalls and childrens rides with all proceeds going towards local charities.
