If you’ve ever fancied competing against other dry stone wallers, then now’s your chance!

The Yorkshire Open Dry Stone Walling Championship


……Is moving to a new location, and it’s tipped to be better than ever!!



Organised by the West & South Yorkshire branches of the Dry Stone
Walling Association, it is taking place at the Emley Show in Huddersfield,
on Saturday 1st August 2009, YORKSHIRE DAY.


Due to the recent relocation of the showground, it has enabled the
Open Walling Championship to take place at this new location, for the first time in the competition’s history.


As well as trophies, their will be over £600 in prize money and entries will be classed as Professionals, Amateurs, Novices, Schools or Young Farmers.


This competition has been supported in the past by wallers from as far afield as the Cotswolds, Wales and Southern Scotland and once again we
are hopeful for a good entry.
