999 called after body found near Bulmershe allotments: turns out to be a stolen scarecrow

by Phil Creighton
August 22, 2016

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A scarecrow which sparked a 999 emergency when a “dead body” was discovered near allotments has achieved more fame in a new, hotly-contested competition.

Decorator Neil Maybury, 50, went on holiday safe in the knowledge his Worzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally scarecrows were guarding vegetables on his allotment.

But he returned home to discover Worzel had been victim of attack himself.

“He was stolen from the allotments and found dumped behind them by a lady walking her dog. She thought she’d found a body.

“The police arrived, sirens and blue lights going, to discover it was a scarecrow,” said Neil.

Neil spruced up Worzel and entered him for Hurst Horticultural Show’s new scarecrow contest last Saturday.

Worzel beat 12 other entrants to first place and a silver cup. Neil, of Earley, made his two scarecrows himself, sculpting their faces from plaster. Worzel has returned to duty at the Bulmershe allotments.

Show chair Kathy Tuggey said: “The new scarecrow competition was a huge success. Another new class, won by Keith Attfield, was for a YouTube video on the theme Perspectives on Hurst.

“The standard of entries throughout the show was outstanding. The show is all
about community spirit and team work.

“The lady who won the chocolate and orange cake class had never entered a show before: her cake was outstanding. People may feel nervous about entering but by doing so they find out what they can achieve.”

A huge number of bakers, 22, had entered the class.

The show was pleased that the number of children taking part, 55, was more than 35% higher than last year.

Retired advertising executive, Mac Stephenson of Hurst, was crowned winner of the men’s apple flan contest. It was the second time he had won.

Former pupil at St Nicholas Primary School, Hurst, Isabel Tuggey, 20, of Sindlesham, won first prize for her painting of her grandfather, Norman Matthews, 89. She’s now doing a textile design degree at Leeds University.

Betty Smith of Hurst scooped up four silver trophies in the flower section. Her flowers were a big hit at the produce auction, helping raise over £200 for the horticultural society.
