The Brocklesby (egg) Hunt - 2017

(there is no egg hunt but it works as an event title so we are keeping it )

                                                                   Roll up! Roll up! And once you've rolled up let's roll down!

This is our third Easter egg rolling competition down Mausoleum Hill on the Brocklesby Estate. Egg rolling is not compulsory but will be good crack.

It will take place on,

Easter Sunday, April 16th, 2-3 pm (A bit earlier this year to ensure Baby Frett can get home for her dinner and Dad Frett can squeeze in a beer ).

The event: Please bring a hard boiled CHICKEN egg, all other eggs will be disqualified (cement, brick, metal etc.) and gather at the coordinates for 2pm. The age of the egg will not affect entry to the competition.

  • We request that your egg be painted in some fashion.
  • We will have two rounds of egg rolling; one for the children and one for the pretend children (the growed ups).
  • The furthest rolled (not thrown) egg shall be declared the winner.

 

The winner of each rolling event shall receive an Easter Egg, if they can last in our house until then.

 

 FTF shall be awarded to the best decorated adult egg.

Chocolate shall be awarded to the best decorated childs egg.


Pre-rolling - All being well The Brocklesby Hunt shall open at this point. At the very least we will have the Mausoleum Woods section enabled.

Post-rolling, there is a VERY handy pub across the road where we can retire and talk about all things egg.

 

p.s. please feel free to spread the word about this event. It was really good fun last year, the more the merrier.
