There’ll be old and new yolks on view in Mayo next weekend as the 2026 Irish National Open Egg Throwing Championships take places at Shrule and District Vintage Club annual vintage show.

This egg-citing competition will see an attempt to break the current world record of 94.3m set in New Zealand in 2018.

The event in Glencorrib, Co Mayo, on Sunday next 12 July also features an autojumble and auction, along with a display of threshing and of vintage mechanical rock breaking. A raffle with a top prize of a restored Massey 35 is also on the cards as well as lawn mower racing and I expect people will want to have a cut off that.
