    That or I don't remember much of anything before I was 15.

    I do recall people throwing them at each other though. That was fun.

    Ahh the memories! We used to put them in the hot press, varnish them, anything we could think of the harden them up.

    Emailed link to my old man with the subject "If only you had this kind of information in the 50's"...

    Now let's hope he can open the link, lol.

    Due to the success of this competition and the strength of some of UCD student conkering skills I've decided to organise an Intervarsity tournament. If we keep the practice up I think we can beat the best DCU/TCD/rest have to offer.

    How did I miss this?

    Gamesoc has been challenged to hold a conker tournament this week. (great minds think alike it seems). hopefully you've left some around for us ;). We'll be taking up our shoelaces on thurs/friday for a tournament. Haven't organised an exact time/place yet but you're more than welcome to come along and show us a thing or two. Will post more exact details closer to the time.
