The World Snail Racing Championships are held every year in Congham in Norfolk. This year, I went over, as my wife was involved in an art making stall at the event, making snail masks and snail hangings.
The Snail Master, Neil was in charge, and the world's media were there (well, at least three film crews, and other photographers, one from Germany...)
After a number of heats, the grand final was held and the winner was a snail called Hosta, owned by Jo, so named because that was the plant they were found on. This is the moment that the snail crossed the winning post...
What's the strangest event you've been to?
What other World Championships have you attended?
