CUMBRIA’S young farmers have been busy getting into the Christmas spirit. For the last month they have been showing their creative side and making good use of seasonal glitter and tinsel to make entries for their Virtual Christmas Competition. The idea behind the festive competition was for the young farmers to have a bit of fun and reconnect with each other, either at meetings in person or virtually. There were nine classes for members and two additional classes for those too young to be a current member. Entries flooded in from young farmers all over the county with some colourful and creative ideas for Decorated biscuits, Christmas Tree Decoration, Christmas Wrapping Paper, Christmas Card, Christmas Cracker, Christmas Poem, Christmas Cakes, Table Decorations, and Wrapping a Shoebox.

The month of December has witnessed some of the greatest long range goals ever scored in the Premier League.
To remind you of those festive wonder strikes, you can enjoy a compilation of Christmas Crackers on the PL s YouTube channel.
With efforts coming from 2015/16 to the current season, there are plenty to savour, including Andros Townsend s stunning first-time volley at Manchester City, which earned the Crystal Palace winger the 2018/19 Budweiser Goal of the Season award.
Watch our selection in the video below as we recall some of your all-time favourites.
A magical variety performance wowed sell-out audiences in Barrow. Christmas Cracker began at the weekend, with an extra two final performances going ahead today at The Forum on Duke Street to cope with demand. The talented acts participated in songs, dances and comedy routines to create a magical experience, despite being under the latest coronavirus restrictions. The Christmas-style variety show was put together by the team behind the theatre’s Christmas pantomimes, Shone Productions. The Forum manager Sandra Baines said: “Each performance sold out but we only have a capacity of 120 as opposed to 529 because we are adhering to the two-metre distancing rule.
.according to a new poll
A greetings card company has released a list of the worst Christmas Cracker jokes – and you might have trouble distinguishing them from some lists of the bests.
The top ten, according to a poll commissioned by Thortful, are:
1. What do you get if you lie under a cow? A pat on the head
2. Why is Parliament like ancient Bethlehem? It takes a miracle to find three wise men there.
3. Why did nobody bid for Rudolph and Blitzen on eBay? They were two deer
4. What did the stamp say to the envelope? Stick with me and we ll go places
Last year there were 10 entries for the Christmas Cracker, this year there were 19 racing on Saturday and 18 on Sunday, which, given current circumstances, again shows the strength and resilience of the fleet. Mind you, an Illusion is the ideal boat to self isolate when afloat!
On Saturday, the SSW erly F5 gusting F6 breeze allowed a reasonably long course and with Class Captain Mark, who had loaned his boat to his son Alex, doing the mark laying, there were no complaints!
A clean start for the first race, with the majority remaining on starboard until they started calling for water on Selwyn Pontoon.
