Teams of would-be punters invited from other local professional firms - including Bidwells, Barclays, Towry, Savills, Price Bailey and Streets - entered The Big Birketts Punting Challenge to punt from Mill Lane to Magdalene Bridge and back in the fastest time. Teams also bid for a Birketts ‘Star Punter’ in a silent auction.
Savills claimed the title of Fastest Team, closely followed by ‘Star Punter’ Stefan Harris-Wright with Team Bidwells. Mark Lofthing of Towry was awarded the prize for Most Inventive Punting Technique and Gary McDonald from Barclays Agriculture took home the award for Wettest Punter.
