BUTCHERS preparing to cross cleavers again in an annual competition are warned that postal entries close this Saturday (Oct 22).

The Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage & Products contest has seen a string of successes from Keighley-district traders over the years.

The event, organised by the Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Councils, will again feature black pudding and beefburger classes alongside the flagship pork pie and sausage categories.

And there will be a New Kid on the Block class, for Yorkshire entrants, to encourage newcomers.

Butchers, farm shops and bakers making products on their own premises can enter the competition, being held at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford, on October 30.
