World Pea Shooting Championships, Witcham, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 12 Jul 2009
NOVICE WINS PEASHOOTING TITLE
A complete novice has won the annual World Peashooting Championships after entering for fun.
Jim Collins, 34, came top in the quirky contest in the picturesque village of Witcham in Cambridgeshire after several hours of fierce blowing.
The dad, from nearby Hadenham, Cambs, had a surprise victory after using a conventional peashooter to beat local Ian Asmeade who used a specially adapted laser-guided shooter.
"It was definitely beginner's luck" said Jim.
"It was the first time I had tried the sport and taken part in the competition.
"I was very surprised to win, but extremely happy with the result."
Competitors from as far away as the USA and New Zealand battled it out in the unusual competition.
The contest has been staged on the village green since 1971 when it was first started to raise funds for a community hall.
As part of the contest competitors have to hit a target, which is fashioned out of putty, from a distance of 12 yards.
The pea used is very important, ideally it must have a diameter of no more than 5.5mm, otherwise it tends to get stuck, and it should have a smooth regular shape.
Due to this the common garden pea is unsuitable and the top competitors use dried maple seeds.

Ian Ashmeade by the White Horse Inn in Witcham and the pub sign with his face on it.
Man's face features on local pub's sign, Witcham, Cambridgeshire, UK - 18 Jul 2018
A pub regular has got his FACE on the SIGN of his local in a Cambridgeshire village. Ian Ashmeade is believed to be the only living person in England to appear on a pub sign. The 61-year-old is the envy of all his friends after featuring on the new sign for The White Horse Inn in Witcham. Now every time he pops in for a pint he sees the sign, which has a large picture of him sitting on a white horse. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be on the pub sign. As far as I know I'm the only living person to appear on a pub sign, normally you've got to be a king or queen or dead," said Ian. "My friends and family all think it's brilliant." The idea arose when pub landlady Linda Elbourne decided to replace the rotting pub sign with a new one inspired by the village's famous annual World Pea Shooting Championships.
