Bun Throwing in the Oxford Mail

Bun throwing featured in the Oxford Mail.


My mum let me know that a photo of me appeared in yesterday's Oxford Mail (Monday 22nd February) in a photo feature about bun throwing events from years gone by.

You can see the article online too.

The paper had a photo of me throwing a currant bun at the World Bun Throwing Championships at Abingdon Vale Cricket Club on the 14th April 2012. That's the photographer who took the snap in this photo that Emily took!

Looking on the Oxford Mail website there was another mention of bun throwing last week in a piece titled "5 unique traditions only people in Oxfordshire understand".
