10 FOR THE COMPETITOR

If you love a challenge then why not try your hand at playing a game of Aunt Sally?! The Cotswolds remains a stronghold for this traditional English game that can be traced back to the 17th century. The skittle-like lark is popular in country pubs, especially in Oxfordshire, and involves teams aiming wooden batons at a ‘doll', which used to resemble an old aunt. It can get competitive, there's even a world championship (singles knock out) competition for it which takes place annually (although not in 2020) a little north of the Great West Way at Charlbury Beer Festival. Just don't try this one at home folks.
