Do the have curry houses where you are SP?
^^^^dont think you'll beat those ideas...
Chilli recipe book
Chilli growing book
Chilli growing pack, little pots, seeds and instructions
Chillies, fresh or dried?

[Small pumpkin]

We do have a curry house of sorts. Quality is a little hit and miss

Some very good ideas there, thank you.

We are in talks with one hotel to host the contest. So I think asking shops for prizes ( very nicely ) is a great idea. And rennies for the runners up.

Still a few things to work out and then hope someone wants to join in!

[Chestnut]

Any local dairies who might provide milk/yoghurt?

After you're brilliant prize ideas, I want to do a bit more brain picking.

Name / title for the contest? All I can come up with is either cheesy or mildly insulting


Then how do we get money out of them? ( as it's for charity)
We've already got an entry fee for the contest, a raffle and passing a collection bucket round.

[Snadger]

I watched a you tube video of a similar event starting with the mildest chilli then working through them to end with a Carolina Reaper. Might be worth video-ing yours, (Glasses of cold milk and puke buckets are a necessity.) then I'm sure you can think of a constructive way to make money from the video.

[Small pumpkin]

Yeah we've been watching lots of those as well
