SJ6752 : Willaston Worm Charming

taken 15 years ago, near to Willaston, Cheshire, Great Britain

Willaston Worm Charming
Willaston Worm Charming
On Saturday 5th July 1980 local Willaston farmer's son, Tom Shufflebotham amazed a disbelieving world by charming a total of 511 worms out of the ground in half an hour. True, there had been rather dubious unsubstantiated reports of a similar activity in Florida, USA some 10 years previous, but this was the first time a true competition with strict rules had been held. The village of Willaston, near Nantwich, Cheshire has been the venue for the annual World Championships ever since. source: LinkExternal link
