Its that time again - The East of England Cutters and Climbers Competition is upon us once more (and I'd only just suppressed the memories of last year). Gratefully sponsored once again by arbtalk.co.uk and arbjobs.com (amongst others!).

 

Same old routine (more or less); book your place, get your tickets, turn up, climb a tree, cut one down, have a laugh and win some prizes. :D

 

Same events as last year, except we're dropping the bar and chain change for a head to head pole climb. Cos everyone loves spikes!! Ha ha.

 

We're looking at a simpler ranking system this year, with prizes for the top handful for each event but the big prizes going to the best all rounders who complete all three events.

 

Due to financial stress we are regretfully charging £5 per event or £10 for all three. Competitors tickets are still free though!

 

Post your questions and I'll do my best! :D

Yep thats the one. We're part of the East of England Game Fair.

 

There's only one category as you'll only be allowed regular spikes! :D

very interested not done any comp before so just want to see how i will do, im travelling from hampshire so might be worth entering the others too are there many rules and regs i should know about?

 

Good on ya. It's definatley worth entering all three and its not too taxing. I'll post the rules when they're finalised but essentially they are:

 

  • Climbing event - Two climbers start at bottom of tree, climb up to the top target, then out to three more on their side, then down to the deck. Points awarded for time and style.
     
  • Pole climb -Two climbers spike up a big stick head to head against the clock. Points awarded for time.
     
  • Felling - Fell a pole with sticks in it onto a target. Then sned all the sticks off it. Points awarded for time and accuracy of cuts.
     
  • Beer tent - Enter tent and consume alcohol. Points awarded for tall tales and karaoke.

Obviously the last event is the most important. :beer:
