Conker Championships to take place in Leicestershire
October is the month for playing conkers.
The Vale of Belvoir Conker Championships returns to Long Clawson, in Leicestershire this weekend on Saturday, October 7th.
Contestants take turns of three attempts to strike their opponent鈥檚 conker, until one of them smashes. The competitors have a total of nine strikes per match and are timed out after five minutes. If the conkers are both still intact, then judges must decide a winner on technique and number of hits.
The Vale of Belvoir's annual competition is now in it's 39th year. The conkers used are all from the local area, gathered in the village and stored for the competition.
Amy Willet organises the event with her husband Lloyd. Amy joined Ben Jackson to tell him more about it.
