The Inaugural Grand Pheasant Championship is announced. 

To take place on the afternoon of Sunday the 31st of July 2005 in Highbury Park, King's Heath, Birmingham. Bring Pimms or Champagne to quaff, indulge in the finest cucumber sandwiches and enjoy spectating as the nation's top Pheasant practitioners battle for the triumphant honour of being crowned Champion Pheasanteer. We will be providing acoustic music to accompany the event (when not in action on the court) and other musicians are of course welcome to join in. Appropriate attire is encouraged.

 

Should you wish to enter the Championship, please click the Pheasant to familiarise yourself with the finer points of the rules of the game. 

Teams of 2 Gentlefolk are preferred, but solo Pheasanteers will be assured a partner on the day, and are welcome. A good team name is essential.

We have acquired a most beauteous steed, which is currently without name. She is quite a prize and would fetch a pretty penny amongst those types that inhabit the wide streets of Newmarket Towne. However, a deal was reached between Dr. Apothecary and her previous owner, a poor unfortunate with a penchant for some of the good doctor's more addictive concoctions...

Two splendid fellows, hail and hearty, have been press-ganged; these being Fleet-Admiral Barnabus Pritchard and  Field-Marshal Percy  Chadwick of TRC Management. It is hoped that they shall prove to become invaluable compatriots, due in no small part to Chadwick's exemplary battlefield tactics and Pritchard's supreme marksmanship.
