Conkers

Competitors have gathered in Ashton, Northamptonshire to have a crack at each other's nuts in the World Conker Championships. The rules of the game are simple - each player is given a conker attached to a piece of lace/string and takes turns in trying to break their opponent's nut using a swinging motion. Villa Mirafiori is covered with conkers at this time of year.
