Story Idea - Harrogate to hold world conker championship.

Local conker fanatic Beth Royal is organising the world conker championships, held in Brakenfeild sports field tomorrow.

She has teamed up with local businesses that are providing hampers, food for the events and prizes varying from wine and food hampers, medals and a cup for the victorious conkerer!

The competition is free to enter; contestants must bring their own conkers, which will be checked for tampering. The event holders will provide regulation string.  The play will be based on a knock-out basis, so there is hope for event numbers.

There is a barbecue being provided, and there will be face painting for younger competitors.
