(We're sorry but the Gloucester cheese rolling has been cancelled, we're also cheesed off about it!)
The Cheese rolling race has been held for the last 200 years and is believed to date back to Roman times. Cheese Rolling is when the Double Gloucester cheese weighing seven pounds, measuring three inches thick and nine inches in diameter is thrown down the perilous Coopers hill and those taking part (2-20) then fearlessly(they say!) throw themselves down after it. The cheese wheel can reach speeds of 70mph giving a new meaning to the term in hot pursuit.
format
there are three men's races and one for women 'The Master of Ceremonies' escorts an invited guest to the start line and helps him (or her) to sit on the precipitous slope, holding a 7-8lb. Double Gloucester cheese.
At the command (given by the M.C.) of....
'ONE to be ready!'
'TWO to be steady!'
'THREE to prepare!'......
As it would take a miracle to actually catch the cheese the winner is the one who reaches the bottom first. It may sound simple but the 250-yard race hill is extremely challenging to even the most supple cheese rollers, bums and ankles take a real battering as they pummell down, negotiating the very steep drops, It then suddenly flattens out at the bottom and often leads to a near collision with the waiting fence.

comment
it's a hell of a thing but damn dangerous, you have to be fit as a butchers dog and as rubbery as hong kong phooey. You may also want to consider that no insurance will cover you if you take part in this activity.

Here's just some of our recent stag feedback ...
"Everybody in our group had a fantastic time karting. The element of fun was soon replaced with some testosterone fuelled competitive driving. The comedy club and night club were great fun and the night seemed to disappear in a flash. The hangovers next morning were a joy to endure. Well done StagWeb." Reg Roberts
"StagWeb really did organise a great weekend for all the boys. Made the planning go smoothly and delivered on everything they promised. All our party had a great time. Thanks" Graeme Murray
