IN 1ST PLACE TEAM FOLLY

A wonderful weather day greeted our keen Treasure Hunters for the Cholmondeley Arms 10th Car Treasure Hunt. Appropriately 10 Cars made it on to ‘the grid’.

The teams were sent off down local lanes out Norbury way and back via Wrenbury having to photograph coloured doors, answering tie-breaker questions and of course trying to pick up the 40 clues set by owner Tim.

All our teams arrived back safely after a couple of hours and enjoyed a much-needed drink and complimentary nibbles while Tim and Helen set about marking the papers.

In third place we had regular treasure hunters ‘Mickey’s Maniacs’ who bettered their finish year on year, as they picked up a £40 gift card to use in our pubs. In second place were our Bulls Head in Mobberley regulars ‘the Bulls Head Runaways’ who picked up a £60.00 gift card to use in our pubs.

In first place this year were Team Folly, who picked up a Tanqueray 0.0% Alcohol Hamper, the Treasure Hunt Cup, a £200 gift card to use in our pubs and were confirmed as the 10th Cholmondeley Arms Treasure Hunt Champions of 2024!

Well done and a big thank you to all the teams who took part, you all did very well indeed. We hope to see you all again soon. We raised £110.00 for the Air Ambulance charity.

Thank you for competing and making it another great day at the Cholmondeley Arms.

There was a draw for third between ‘The Crumpets’ and Team ‘Octopus Prime’ and to separate the teams, we chose the highest individual Treasure Hunt score, and the ‘Octopus Prime’ team came out in third place overall and picked up a £30 gift card and a bottle of sparkling Picpoul.

What a great day for a car treasure hunt! Sunny, dry and lovely blue skies greeted the ‘hunters’, for their ‘country roads drive’ around the lanes of Cholmondeley, set up by Porsche Chester, in association with the Cholmondeley Arms team.

Like the Chum’s own annual treasure hunt, the car team pairs were sent off individually to find clues around the estate and beyond. They also had to answer quiz questions, take photos of certain objects and do a little shopping too!

Everyone arrived back safely and presented their completed papers for the marking to commence. Kat, from Porsche Chester, was ‘head adjudicator’ with owner Tim and deputy Alex giving a hand!

While the teams enjoyed refreshments and nibbles, the marking was completed…..drum roll……In joint third place were the ‘Rich Tings’ and the ‘Super Sleuth’s. In second place was ‘Monty’s Best Friend’. Well done to all.

The Porsche Chester Cholmondeley Treasure Hunt Champions 2021 were the 9-9 TWO Team (pictured)! Congratulations to them and indeed all the cars that took part. Everyone made it round and had a great time.

We would like to thank our loyal, longstanding, car event sponsors Porsche Chester, for arranging the event with us and Team Chum for looking after everyone.

See you all again next year!
