I think we should have an MN village show

What should the categories be?

Clearly we will need:

  • most unusual object covered in glitter
  • sculpture entirely from Waitrose recycling
  • best artisan scotch egg (ahem)

What else? And what will you be entering?

Feel free to nominate yourself as a judge but we will need to see your credentials...

I was just going to say "best decorated beaker to put a penis in" and you beat me to it!!!

Our local show always has a few cooking/craft classes Specially For Husbands. In view of the number of useless men reported on Mumsnet, how about

  • Best meal cooked by a "DH" who has never lifted a finger in the kitchen before?
  • Fastest Nappy Changing Competition for "DH"s who have never done any childcare before?

And for dissatisfied female partners...

  • Fastest Digging, Filling and Disguising of a 6ft x 4 ft hole under a patio?

And for teenage DCs...

  • Best/fastest persuasion/nagging of a parent to part with £20/provide a lift at midnight/buy the item that everyone else has!

I know all you younglings won't believe it but we did once do a Mumsnet Victoria Sponge Cake competition, back when all round here was fields.
You made your VSC then photographed it outside (why? Idk!) and put the photo up in your mumsnet profile (remember those?!) I can't recall the winner, I do recall one up a mountain in Fuji or NZ, one on a drystone wall in the dales or somewhere, Slubber's SPECTACULAR high sift.

Anyway, as you were. Praps you need a Storytelling tent for the Oldies Wink

Nah, it’s nice to hear but I wish some of these were recent lolz. Was the past just funnier or have we not moved on?

I will run the bar.

We need Jackie Weaver as a roving judge of all competitions, and she will have full authority.

Best doom monger.

A raffle is essential.

Baby names. With a whole panel of judges.

BadlydoneHelen · 14/03/2022 22:19

I remember the 'high sift' for the Victoria sandwich competition back in the day. However the absolute best category was the 'tea tray' where one entrant had a bottle of Smirnoff with 20 B&H propped up

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 14/03/2022 22:21

Art. Winner is the one elicts the biggest scream.

Insult the Name of the Baby competition.

Worst diagram competition.

We can get some solicitors to donate a fictional ‘free half hour’ as prizes Grin
