Buninyong has had a lot of
fun with marmalade this past twelve months.
After Australia disastrously lost the Ashes, Buninyong light-heartedly
challenged England to something else they claim to have invented. Our challenge
was accepted. So we selected a Buninyong Eleven, 11 jars of our best home-made
- plus 12th jar, and these were given a Mayoral send-off on their tour to
England last February up against an England XI at the International Marmalade
Awards in Cumbria, northern England.
We won!
But now we hear that
England, stung by their loss, have been practising so the task is now beyond
our small village …. So:
To all marmalade-makers across
the length and breadth of Australia – our Marmy
Army!
We need You!
To help defend the MarmalAshes
trophy against the England XI in February, 2012
The MarmalAshes,
a tiny insignificant jar, is held in the old Buninyong Courthouse, the
Historical Society’s Museum, in exact replication of
the Ashes at Lords.
So send in your best home-made citrus
marmalade to Buninyong in January
The selectors will be
at the
Buninyong
Marvellous Marmalade Fair
Sunday 5th February, 2012
Our expert CWA Judges and Celebrity Selectors will select the
Australian XI to tour to England as well as where the best marmalade in
