AlbertJ 569 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) digging competition is run as follows it will be for teams of two,on entry each team will take a number from a hat which will correspond with a dig site.luck of the draw but all ground is the same. each team will use their own tools spade,shovel though a maddock is allowed first team to be able to place the box in their dig with the top stick level with original ground level wins, prizes will be double so each member has trophy each Tango, Well done with the innovative competition and a real chance to test the 'working ability' of the owners. I would be delighted to help with sponsorship. If we can brand it the Irish Countrysports and Country Life Magazine Digging Championship and get the relevant photos of competitors and winners for a magazine report I would be happy to put up two tankards, two annual magazine subscriptions and £50 for the winning team and two magazine subscriptions for the best team of ladies (or runner up to the ladies if they win!). If it goes well I would be happy to put up a perpetual trophy for future years. Well done I really do love to see innvovative ideas coming forward! Albertj PS If Seamus & Matt were in better shape I would have entered a team - both were good diggers in their day - Seamus being 'low to the ground' was almost designed for it! but both are a bit crocked at present. Almost tempted to have a go myself - my wife thinks I'm a bit of a mole as everywhere we have lived - I have constructed various earthworks, ponds etc and currently excavating by hand a fair major structure. My kids birthday presents to me have always included mattocks, picks, spades, shovels etc - but for some reason I have never mastered the long tail shovel which I think is the most inefficient tool ever invented!

Perhaps the design thats wrong is me - cursed with long back/short arms - perhaps I should get the shovel fitted to me. Of all my tools it is the one in pristine condition as I never use it! Seriously I shall enjoy watching you and others demonstrate how to do it right but I have always thought - a lot of effort for very little earth removal. Oh - and I never take my own prize money even on the rare occasions that I, or mainly my dogs have been good enough to win it. Albertj Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Re: the sponsorship that's what I was offering - your idea, your show! I really do think it's a good innovative idea and one that will not only be a bit of fun but also demonstrate a bit of skill. Very happy to have it the Mourne Digging Championship sponsored by Irish Countrysports and Country Life. Regarding participation unfortunately Old Father Time is catching ( or has probably caught up) on Seamus, Matt and myself. Seamus has a very bad leg with ligament danage due to a fall on the ice; Mr Lee has problems with his legs - rather self inflicted I think through tobacco ingestion ! and I have a bad back due to probably moving too many tons of earth without using a long tail shovel in the manner in which Tulleyed has advised me! Although had Seamus been available I think I might have had a go as a bit of fun. As I have said I am/have been a keen 'amateur' excavator but Seamus until recently was one of the best diggers with his 'Iron Maiden' that I have ever seen.
