NOT PRINCE CHARMING BUT WORM CHARMING!
A hilarious event for teams or individuals. Entrants register at the local Half Moon Pub any time from 2pm.

Each team will be given a metre square patch and half an hour to charm as many worms as possible from the ground. Each team is allowed one 2 litre bottle of whatever liquid they believe will help them, but it must past the tasting test first. There will be a Royal Taster on hand just as in time gone past in the Royal Household. Prizes for the most worm conjured up. No worms will be harmed in the process, all worms will be well treated and returned to the ground afterwards.
