The Crawley District Cub Conker Competition will take place this year on Saturday 6th October from 10:30-12:30pm. This will take place as part of the District Recruitment and Awareness Day and will be held in the Queen’s Square in Crawley Town Centre.

 

Cubs must wear full uniform as pictures will be taken during and after the competition. All participants will receive a certificate and the winner and runners up will also receive medals.

 

Each group can enter 4 cubs for the competition, however more than that are welcome to attend and may be able to take part. The rounds will be run in a knockout tournament style, with random pairings at the start.

 

The rules are attached below. Small changes may be made to the rules on the day but all participants will advised of any changes.

 

There is no cost and refreshments will be provided on the day. The conkers and string will also be provided by the District so Cubs will just need to bring themselves and the willingness to have a good time!

 

Parents are more than welcome to stay and watch and we will also be looking for adults to referee various matches. And of course we do need people there to cheer on the competitors!
