Why BB? Don't you like your own competition on here? I was going to post a photo of my first year attempts, but I've just caught the second of three going past it, so I'm roasting it now. :( I need to take some lessons in how to ripen indoors. :(

I don't know where you are in Bucks, but I would think that you might find that sort of thing happening at villages shows and such like?

just to let you know today is Spaldings Pumpkin festival - not sure if they have a giant pumpkin competition included in the festivities or not.
