World Egg Throwing Federation
2011 World Championship report.
Eggcellent day for the Dutch, Irish and Brits. Germany fail to score gold, only picking up a silver.
During a blistering hot day that played havoc with egg stability a larger than ever crowd gathered to watch not only international players but also the first trans-galactic event as Darth Vader sent storm troopers to take part. The Federation members fought back bravely and used the force to knock back the Empires trooper’s attempts.
Target Throwing.
Winner. Miss Emily Van Der Weyden, aged 5 and 3/4. (“I’m 6 in August”) with three shots to the torso. Emily's fine target throwing beating off dozens of other hopeful contenders that were distracted by the target (Ex World Gravy Wrestling Champion) Joel Hicks.
Russian Egg Roulette.
Surprise knock outs to the previous winner Opal Upton Brooker that was let down by the Raike power to go out in the first round. Daniel De’ath, following on from his mother’s success two years ago failed at the 2nd stage but fared so much better than the Elite Empire Guard storm trooper Stormie869 and ickle Stormie that failed to get past the first egg. They didn’t “feel the force”
After a tense match the Irish team, led by Paul Murphy triumphed to take 1st place after many nail biting rounds, crushing 1st timer Daniel Harriss.
Static Relay.
3 scratch team were formed to toss out 12 eggs along a 100 metre course. A total lack of coordination meant that only 4 and 5 eggs survived the passage. “Team Strugglers” consisting of a mix of English and Dutch swept in, in an unrecorded time that beat the other two failures by over a minute. A disappointing match for the team but enjoyed enormously by the crowd as the tossers made a complete hash of it.
Throw and catch.
All comers
Stated of in a promising fashion for the heats that led to 7 teams going through to the final. By the time arrived though the temperature had risen from a balmy 20 degrees to 28. This had an unfortunate effect on the eggs being thrown as gas pressure built up. What had been recorded at 60 metres failed miserably in the finals and the starting distance of 40 metres was not achieved again. A many rounds at this range the distance was eventually reduced and then again until a tense toss off was met at 30 metres between the Dutch and German teams. A high lob by Andries “the boy” Smink” was successfully caught by William “the arm” Riestra. This supreme act of egg throwing could not be matched by talent of German team despite the wonderful throw of Timo Brenunig.
Egg Trebuchet.
An impressive field ranging from a hand built ¼ siege engine to a high tech computerised design machine battled it out fromm20mretres up to 70. After many rounds of 3 eggs per distance the eventual standing was;
4th Nederlands (using a machine that could of taken the title) 35 points.
3rd Team Grantham (using a machine made out an old pallet) 37 points
2nd Latvian Welders (last years winner) 45 points
1st Ova Easy (computer design machine with superb sling) 52 points.

Thanks to all those that took part and enjoyed the day. (espically the Troopers)

EGG THROWING PART WAY TO GAINING OFFICAL RECOGNITION
PRESS RELEASE
EGG THROWING PART WAY TO GAINING OFFICAL RECOGNITION.
The World Egg Throwing Federation has claimed success in the first stage of the process for official recognition for Egg Throwing as a recognised sport.
Today they have received the response of Sport England which, whilst not fully successful, has opened the way for full recognition of the following disciplines of egg throwing which fulfil the definition of the Council of Europe’s European Sports Charter 1993:
Two person throw and catch
Static relay.
Target throwing
Egg trebuchet.
However disappointingly, Russian Egg Roulette was not accepted as a sport as it failed the definition outlined.
The preliminary recognition process also failed due to a few minor administrative faults which included, amongst others, a lack of financial accounts being provided, a lack of complaints procedures and evidence of membership numbers meeting the required amount.
The World Egg Throwing Federation (incorporating the All England Egg Throwing Federation) is now addressing these failings to ensure full recognition in time for the start of the 2012 season.
Full information on the disciplines and the application for recognition can be gained via www.eggthrowing.com.
Notes for editors.
The World Egg Throwing Championships are to be held on Sunday the 26th of June at Swaton in Lincolnshire and are be hosted by Swaton Vintage Day.
All monies raised by the event are used to support local, national and international good causes such ads Leukaemia Research, The Red Cross, Air Ambulance provision, Children’s Hospices, and Shelter Box.
No chickens will be hurt during the championships.

Russian coverage translated
IN ENGLAND THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF "RUSSIAN ROULETTE"
At the end of June in the English county of Lincolnshire in the traditional world championship by throwing eggs tournament will take place on the “Russian roulette” the winner will receive the title of the strongest on the planet.
Championship for the sixth time to gather adventurers from all over the world, which considers the egg piece of exercise equipment. They will compete in five disciplines, approved by the International Federation of throwing eggs (WETF).
"The ancient art of throwing eggs knows no national boundaries and brings together world-class athletes in quest for perfection" - the head WETF Andy Dunlop.
In addition to banal shots of chick embryos at a distance and accuracy, the program includes a static relay, whose members as quickly as possible should pass each other a dozen eggs without breaking with the single, as well as the firing of the Trebuchet egg and the notorious “Russian roulette.
On the rules of the last match is worth looking in more detail. Two players sit down opposite each other, tie bandanas on their heads and chosen by lot determine the order of "shots". The players is a container with six eggs, the number of rounds in the drum of a revolver, five of them cooked hard-boiled, but one thing - raw.
According to the judge's signal participant chooses an egg and smashes on his own head. Losing someone who will break a raw egg
Reigning champion in this discipline is a 12-year-old Briton Tom Paddon, who claims that can find the right egg in a barely perceptible smell.

Dutch National Team ready for World Egg Throwing Championships
Makkum (NL) – Andries Smink, holder of the Dutch national record for Egg throwing, and the talented Chris Kooistra will represent The Netherlands at the 6th World Egg Throwing Championships at Swaton, England on June 26th.
In view of their previous results and extensive training regime they believe they stand a good chance of bringing home to Holland the title of “World Champions”.
Smink and Kooistra are looking forward to the challenge in England. Andries says that “Of course, whilst it’s nice to be the best of this region we have no idea where we stand internationally but as the official Dutch participants this gives us the opportunity to find out”. However, the teams quiet sportsmanship is somewhat belied by the fact that that the distance thrown by Andries and his brother (and regular partner) Bauke-Jetze Smink do not fall out of place with the recorded performances of World Champions in previous years. Indeed the proven abilities of the Dutch pair led to the Dutch delegations special invitation to Swaton by the World Egg Throwing Federation.
Smink and Kooistra will be accompanied by their coach Willem Rienstra along with team manager Jacques Hoogenboom, the Secretary of the Dutch Egg Throwing Federation.
When the team returns to Makkum, The Netherlands on June 27th, they will have just two weeks to prepare for the Dutch National Open Egg Throwing Championships on the 9th of July. This event is hosted by Makkum’s town centre and will involve 4 disciplines:
Distance egg throwing,
Static Eggstafette (or "Static Egg Relay"),
Russian Egg Roulette
Egg Trebuchet.
The Dutch National Open games are played to World Egg Throwing Federation rules and to ensure fair play the Dutch Federation has invited World Egg Throwing Federation President Andy Dunlop to act as Chief Umpire. Andy says that “This is a great honour, but more importantly it shows that the ancient sport of Egg Throwing knows no national boundary and drawing together world class athletes in pursuit of excellence”
A British team is also hard at working training for the trebuchet competition.
Participants can still enter the Dutch Open through their website www.eiwerpen.nl.

The World Egg Throwing Championships
WIN NATIONAL AWARD
The Federation is pleased to announce that it has again achieved first place in the Visit England “Where Else But England” awards
Following a tough regional and then national heats the World Egg Throwing Championships was voted into first place, for the 2nd year running, in a national poll by 10s of 1000s members of the public via a Sun newspaper and “Visit England” poll.
Narrowly beating off sticky and most eggcellent competition from the World Pooh Sticks Championship, the World Egg Throwing Championship has once again been declared to be England’s Quirkiest event.
John Deptford, Vice President of the egg-citing event and in charge of PR, stated that “This win once again shows that a rumdoodle of an event can and does show the best in England’s sporting prowess. Where other sports fail to shine Egg Throwing has consistently shown that this fine country can produce world beating athletes.”
He was able to support this claim by referring to the home nation’s football team loss 4:1 to Germany last year when English Egg Throwers took 4 of the 5 gold medals on the same day at Swaton.
He went on to say that despite the recognition of the voting public the home team was likely to face an uphill struggle this year with the Worlds best descending for the Championship in June. There is already confirmation that Americas best tossers and national champions have booked their place, along with a New Zealand team that have declared that they will beat the World Record distance by smashing the 1978 record of Johnny Dell Foley who successfully tossed a fresh hen's egg for a distance of 323 ft 2in (98.51m) to a Keith Thomas at Jewett in Texas.
In other news, the World Egg Throwing Federation is awaiting the Sports Council decision shortly upon its application to be officially recognised and thus pave the way for Egg Throwing to be entered into the 2012 London Olympics.
The games will be held at Swaton, Lincolnshire on Sunday June 26th 2011 and consist of 5 disciplines.
Throw and Catch
Static Relay
Target Throwing
Russian Egg Roulette
Egg Trebuchet
World Wide Interest
Whilst disappointed by Mr Clooney’s non-attendance in 2008, and indeed John Prescott’s in 2006, we were heartened to find that well over 1500 newspapers, radio stations and TV outlets covered the event in such diverse countries as Panama, Brazil, Peru and Latvia. This, in no particular hit order, drew interest in taking part in the World Games from the following top countries:
The United States, the UK, France, Canada, Sweden, China, Germany, Ireland, Australia, Netherlands, Switzerland, South Korea, Spain, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Belgium and Norway. We are aware that 36 TV companies carried footage of the event including BBC1, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, ABC America along with French, Italian, German, Indian and Chinese broadcasters meaning that an estimated 4 billion people had the opportunity to see the games. Clips are available on the website, buts here is a taster. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/headlines_today/ProgrammesShow?catId=57&catName=Mad%20Mad%20World&contentId=31738&p=2&rLL=16&video=0
Confirmed contestants from around the globe
We have invited, via their Embassies, all Countries to take part in the games. Responses have already been received from Sweden, Holland, Jamaica and Germany.
Whilst some Countries are still seeking out their best egg throwers to take part we can already confirm the attendance of the Dutch National Champions and The USA National Tossing Champions http://www.tossingforhunger.com/index.html Their video is most excellent.
Alternative entertainment
The host, Swaton Vintage Day, has over 400 vintage vehicles on display. There will be terrier racing, dog agility demonstrations, archery, a ferret and chicken show, local musicians. Proper food and a real ale bar, stocked by Swaton’s own and most excellent micro brewery, with Happy Jack Ale

Meet Mo
Meet Mo the Cockerel from The World Egg Throwing Championships
He’s big, he’s white and he’s the cockiest cockerel you ever will meet! He’s Mo the cockerel and he’s here to tell you all about the World Egg Throwing Championships. Every year people come together to throw eggs (not at each other), all in the name of charity and this award-winning event was voted the Where Else But England winner 2010! It’s held on Sunday 26 June this year at the Swaton Vintage Day festival.
Mo the Cockerel: He considers himself to be a bit of a stud.
Hi Mo, do you want to tell us a bit about your life, your past?
I was born in Sheffield on the 27th of February 2005 and moved south to the World Egg Federation headquarters shortly after. I never really knew my parents as I was born in an incubator.
I firstly set up home in a nice warm bathroom with my best friend called “Mirror” and two little girl chicks called Eenymeny and Miny. “Mirror” didn’t talk much, but was always there for me. When I grew up a little we all moved outside (except Mirror, I don’t know what happened to him) to live with my other girls. These had all been working ladies who had been retired here. It was either here at Swaton or a little Welsh village of "Abattoir"!
You have eight wives, do you ever get their names mixed up? Or do you just number them?
Number them! What sort of chicken do you think I am? They are all called Beryl. This prevents any unfortunate mistakes when the lights are out.
How do you feel about people throwing the eggs? Does it offend you?
Not at all, we produce so many despite some of the girls being quite old now, but then again, I’m a pretty good cockerel!
Do you think The WETC will get recognised by the English Sports Council? How long have you been campaigning for this?
Of course they should, it’s a true sport that’s been played for hundreds of years since 1322 but without the proper recognition it deserves. Hopefully we’ll put that right and put paid to improper use of eggs in politics. I’ve campaigned for it for a long time but it took a lot of preparation to get everything in place. When we started the World Championships there were only a one type of game, throw and catch, but we’ve developed four more since then and it’s now being played worldwide.
Why should people vote for the WETC?
The Championships are organised, with my help, by a tiny little village in Lincolnshire without the support from big commercial organisations or councils. Despite having way more than its fair share of village idiots they have raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity and rightfully put Egg Throwing on the world stage.
What charities does the WETC raise money for?
There are quite a few. Leukaemia Research, McMillan Nurses, LIVES (rural volunteer emergency responders), The Red Cross, a children’s hospice and Shelter box plus a number of other good causes.
You have a new logo – what does the Latin motto mean?
“Not a bad egg amongst us”.

Egg Throwers need your help
The World Egg Throwing Championships is seeking your help, not money, just a few seconds of your time.
We have been nominated for the Visit England excellence awards for 2011 in the “Where else but England” category. We would like to do well in this for the following reasons:
1. It may assist us with our attempt to get the sport of Egg Throwing recognised by the English Sports Council.
2. It may assist us with our aim of getting Egg Throwing into the 2012 Olympics as a demonstration sport.
3. It does provide us with good press coverage which in turn draws more sponsors and more people to our event. Every extra adult through the gate means another £4, every child £2, to causes like Leukaemia Research, Shelter Box, MacMillan Nurses, Lincs Air Ambulance, LIVES emergency responders and a number of other good causes.
Over the years we have raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity. You can help us raise even more this year by voting for us via the link attached below and then passing this mail to everyone else in your mail box.
Here’s the link. http://bit.ly/ewA2fg and/or http://on.fb.me/hvgaaoThank you for your time
