Campaigners say Autumnal weather will see full start to 2019 conker season
The Campaign for Real Conkers, the group that opposes bans on conker playing, has said that with Autumnal weather forecast for the week ahead the 2019 conker season will see a full start by the weekend
The campaign says that while wind and rain are not good news for all, for conker players it means significant conker falls from trees and plenty of conkers to get ready for games
Campaign organiser Keith Flett said, conkers is the most seasonal of all sports and the next few weeks will see the peak of the 2019 season
The Campaign for Real Conkers promotes free for all conker playing across the UK an alternative event to the World Conker Championships, on October 13th where it encourages people to have a go at playing conkers without the need for rules, regulations and teams.
Notes for Editors
The CFRC believes that conkers is one of the few sports that can be played for free. All that is required is a conker and some string.
It is opposed to championships, rules, regulations, separate teams for men and women and commercial sponsorship.
It seeks to encourage young people to play conkers. It should not be the preserve of those of mature years
