8 Worm Charming Champions The legendary Worm Charming Championships return to Aspull this month. The Aspull event began in 2013, when Ruth Atherton, Jeanette Aspinall and Caroline Midgley were discussing ways of raising money for much-needed repairs to St. Elizabeth’s Church. After much wine and laughter, the idea for worm charming was hastily written down on the back of a napkin. If you don’t already know the rules, competitors are given a 3x3 metre plot, and must ‘charm’ as many worms as possible to the surface using vibrations only in 30 minutes. Any form of music may be used to draw the worms from the ground, or an ordinary garden fork can be stuck in the ground and vibrated to encourage them to poke their heads out, but no digging is allowed! The competitor who charms the most worms to the surface will be announced as the winner, and the worms will be released back into the soil after the birds have gone to roost that evening. The ‘Big Jim’ trophy will also be awarded to the person who charms the fattest, juiciest worm of the day. Aspull’s weird and wonderful tradition always brings plenty of fun to the area. With plenty of food and drink, family games and stalls available to browse on the day, you won’t want to miss this year’s event! All proceeds go towards St. Elizabeth’s Church. This year’s Worm Charming Championship takes place on Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 8 from 12pm- 5pm, with the competition kicking off around 2pm, at St. Elizabeth’s Parish Hall on Bolton Road. For more information or to register for a plot, call Ruth on 07506 729292.
