In 2012 there will be no German Potato Lifting Championships :-(
In few words:
- 11th German Potato Lifting Championships
- Sunday, 11. September 2011, starting at 01:00pm
- Farmyard of Bauer Poppe in Waffensen, Germany, on the B 75 road from Bremen to Rotenburg
- Welcome and announcement of rules of the competition, at 01:00pm
- Award ceremony, at 05:00pm
What's the aim?
Every participant will be given 60 seconds to lift as many potatoes as possible and put them in a basket. The contents of the basket will then be weighed and the result entered in a list. The three participants in each age group who lift the greatest weight of potatoes will be awarded a cup and also given the title "German Potato Lifting Champion". The results are incontestable, and the jury’s decision is final.
