bonkers conkers for dads and sons??

[iaineasy]

I discovered an amazing conker tree today and collected about 50 great conkers and I wondered if any dads want to get together for the first annual EDF bonkers conkers champs?? Perhaps we can have a few prizes for the kids and make it an annual get together?? I have no idea of dates etc, I am just offering it up to see if anyone is interested, and it would be a great chance for dads to socialise and have a get together, obviously mums with an eye for a champion conker are welcome too.And although I have some good nuts (arf arf) why not bring your own string. safety goggles are optional!!

hugs as ever

My kids are a bit young yet, but just wanted to say it's a fun idea! You really are a positive person aren't you?! An absolute breath of fresh air on the forum, so nice to see.

Hope you get some takers!

Conkers at dawn!!(or dusk in the watering hole of your choice if ya fancy it?? bring a string I have the conkers some of them are razor edge cheese cutters. There's fun to be had!

I agree with Pickle in that Iain is such a breath of fresh air on this forum. Your posts always make me smile and I like reading them.

On topic, conkers scare the life out of me. I'm always worried that I'll get my eye knocked out...I'd only feel safe in a motorcycle helmet.

Make it a lunchtime event at the Herne? Having said that, we're away the weekend coming up.

okay luch time at the hearn it is! say in a fortnight on sunday?/ Gives everyone time to get a conker or two, I think a crash helmet or other safety equipment is entirely ok besides it will be a laugh to see what people come up with the more ridiculous we look whilst playing the better after all it is BONKERS CONKERS, knee pads are a good idea too in case you get a miss and follow through, those knee bumps smart man I tell you.

Id have a laugh even if its just a few of us.
