Twuddle Pumpkin Carving
OK OK, so this’ll be 24 hours too late… but what the hell. The idea is simple ~ you beg, borrow, steal (we of course could not condone this), buy or even grow* a suitable pumpkin… and you carve into it a design so fiendishly horrific, that the gathered Twuddlers cannot help be impressed. Or scared witless.
Best design wins. As voted for by those at Sankeys on the evening of November 1st (a regular Tuesday Twuddle night). No prizes (unless a kind sponsor would like to step forward!), just the honour of being the best darn pumpkin carver in Tunbridge Wells!
Candles etc allowed, to illuminate your creation. But please be aware that we will need to light them ~ do NOT do this yourself when you get to Sankeys. We’ll allocate an area for the pumpkins to be displayed, and when the time comes for judging, we’ll light them for you.
*If anyone claims to have grown their own pumpkin, we will be most impressed. But expect to be treated with much suspicion should you make this claim. Especially if your leave the Sainsbury’s price tag on.
From Tuesday August the 3rd, Twuddle will be held at Sankey’s on Mount Ephraim (www.sankeys.co.uk). Usual start time of 7.30pm… until late! Matt Sankey will kindly be laying on some nibbles specially for Twuddlers, so please make sure you arrive early. See you there!
REPORT
The first Twuddle at Sankey’s was a huge success. Thanks to all who came – and a warm welcome to the newbies, it was great to see you there. Hopefully we’ll catch you again at an upcoming Twuddle or Twuttle. Special thanks also to Matt Sankey who laid on two fine platters of sarnies which were gratefully hoovered up by the Twuddlers. Matt also gave us samples of his fine range of beers – cue much discussion on which was preferred. My vote goes for the superb London Stout.
As the first Twuddle birthday is but a month away, tentative plans were laid for the celebrations. Watch this space! There are also a few Twuddle ‘specials’ coming up… more news on these to follow. All exciting stuff!
