Conkers

I've counted 36. :o)

I dont see children play conkers any more (am I showing my age).

No you dont see kids playing conkers these day but there are some competitions held .

Start a conker battle Lori I mean it would be a great shame to waste those beauties! Hel.xxx.

Well im going to give them out between the kids in the family , i dont think my knuckles could take it lol x

Skippy ~ this is the photo of the conkers !
I hope you found it !

They look like hazel nuts...is that the same as a 'conker'? What is the game of conkers? I've never heard of it? I'm sure the kids are too busy with their PSP's or whatever new gadget came out today, to play conkers!

Conkers are horse chestnuts.
The game is to attach conkers to pieces of string.
One player holds the string with conker hanging below.
Other player tries to hit conker with theirs, also on string.

The World Conker Championships are held every October in Northamptonshire in England. If you Google this you can see photos. :o)
This year the organisers were worried about a shortage of conkers because of disease in the Horse Chestnut trees. The annual event raises thousands of pounds to support charities for the blind. :o)

The only conker which isn't a horse chestnut is my Shetland Sheepdog called Conker. :o)

Thanks TT. Sounds like it's for a great cause :)

Sorry would of answered you earlierier but have not been on goy for a while "

Lori conkers look like chestnuts? I bought a big bag of them to roast over our open fire.
