Pumpkin Competition 2025

You will be pleased to hear that a Pumpkin Growing Competition will be taking place again this year.

The categories for Pumpkins are : Heaviest, Girth, Colour, Height, Fettler and Most Rounded.

The cost of Pumpkin Seeds this year is an inflation busting £7, the same as the last two years. Seeds will be on sale from Mid March. Please use the form below to register to join the competition and to request your seeds. Once you have registered, The Gaffer will organise your seed delivery and payment. Thank you.

We have not yet decided on the charity this year (suggestions welcome), last year we raised £1,100 for Cancer Research UK, a brilliant effort, thank you very much

PRESENTATION NIGHT IS SATURDAY 4TH OCTOBER, so put that in your diary straight away.
