One from the archives - Brick And Pin Throwing Contest - This appears to be a recently discontinued event but for nearly 50 years the Brick and Rolling Pin Throwing contest at Stroud had an International flavour.

Three other towns called Stroud also hosted their own events; Canada, the USA, and Australia.

The title is self-explanatory​ – men brandish bricks and women pitch rolling pins and the winner is the competitor who throws over the greatest distance. Bricks used to be manufactured in Stroud – the rolling pins came later. The Australian event still seems to be going strong but the English version appears to have ceased within the last few years.

Australia remains the only country that continues to hold this event.
