How do I enter the World Gurning Championship?

Entries are taken on the night.  There's no pre-entry.  Be at The Falcon Club in plenty of time, say half an hour before the competition is due to start.  See the schedule published on this web site for details.  Keep an eye on the screen near the stage, and when it says that entries are being taken for the particular competition you're interested in (junior, ladies or mens) go the the entries table in the hall and complete a few details on the entries slip.  Then wait for the announcer to call you up onto the stage.

How do I get to the Sports Field?

If you're using a SatNav, enter the post code CA22 2NG as your destination.  This will take you to the Sports Field bottom gate which is the pedestrian entrance.  Vehicles should continue up the hill to the top gate where there's a free car park.  For those without SatNav, Egremont is on the A595 about 4 miles south of Whitehaven and about 40 miles north of Barrow in Furness.  From the Main Street turn at the war memorial and follow the signs.
