An exciting two-day competition that will showcase skills and expertise from the best competitive precision chainsaw experts in the country will take place at the Sports and Grounds Expo (SAGE) this year. The UK Loggers National Championships will be hosted on the 19th and 20th of July 2023 at the stunning Three Counties showground in Malvern, Worcestershire, home of SAGE, the outdoor trade for the sports and grounds maintenance industry.
The UK Loggers National Championship is a fierce test of precision and skill determining an overall precision chainsaw champion – with the best among the competitors going on to represent their country at the World Logging Championship next year. Consisting of five disciplines, the championship tests every facet of logging – from cross cutting, to felling, limbing, a chain change and a relay race.
Back for its third year, SAGE is the ideal place to host this contest, as it’s set to be the biggest yet.
Richard Siddons from UK Loggers says: “When we learnt more about SAGE and how it’s all about providing interactive, hands-on experiences and demonstrations, it was clear this would be the ideal place to hold the UK Loggers National Championships.
“Not only is there a huge amount of outside space available for us to hold the contest, we’ll also be surrounded by people who will appreciate the skill and experience of those taking part in the competition.
“We plan to put on a great show for those watching, who will also hopefully learn a little more about the many different aspects of precision chainsaw competing. And, of course, the champion will also be crowned, as well as the best few chosen to represent the UK next year at a global level.”
SAGE offers the chance to network with others in the industry, as well as mingling with experts who will be providing demonstrations and interesting talks. Visitors will be able to view the latest equipment, share the newest techniques and truly ‘try before you buy’.
