This is Lincolnshire

Miss Lincolnshire is back – this time with new organisers and a countywide search.

Richard Wycherley and Simon Dayman, owners of city firm Wingit PR, will be scouring the county from the Humber to the Wash and as far south as Stamford in their search for likely candidates.

As reported in the Echo last month, the previous organiser of Miss Lincoln, Graham Would, has been forced to step down due to work commitments.

Now Mr Wycherley and Mr Dayman have been granted the licence to run the contest by Miss England.

Mr Wycherley, 34, said the final of Miss Lincolnshire was due to be held at the Epic Centre at the county showground in May.

"We will be going all around Lincolnshire to invite girls to enter the competition," said Mr Wycherley, whose business interests include the Kind and SCY bars in Lincoln.

"We will be visiting nightclubs, bars and shopping centres all over the county. But the main thing is to get the event up and running again.

"It would be wonderful if Miss Lincolnshire won Miss England and then went on to be crowned Miss World."

The competition is open to women aged 17 to 24 who are not married and don't have children.

Contestants must be living, studying or working in Lincolnshire.

    “Miss tyfied, if you want a Mr Lincolnshire competition you should organise one. No-one's stopping you.”

    “Well I'm pleased this event has been saved and will be going if at all possible. Don't care if it is sexist, blah blah blah. Don't spend all weekend on here talking about dishwashers now, will you? As for bob jackson (if that is your real name which I doubt), you're always on here and trying to wind people up, suggest you get a job, child.”

    “Yes Bob, maybe the 'little job' is washing up at the local cafe.
    Sneer I've read the first sentence again, and I agree it's not exactly crystal (but my pots are when I take them out of the dishwasher).
    What I meant to say is, my dishwasher rinses, washes and dries the pots at a temperature of 65 degrees, and the complete cycle takes two hours. My point being if you want your pots as hygienically clean, you'll need asbestos hands, or alternatively some very durable marigold gloves, to keep your little dannys from looking like prunes.
    Just think, you can google on here instead of boring old washing-up. Pound to a penny says you'll succumb and buy one, but I also suspect you already own one, if not, the future Mrs Sneer will change your mind.”

    “lynn, what the hell are you talking about? I've read and re-read your first sentence and it makes no sense whatsoever.”

    “Mr Sneer you'd better buy a pair of thick, industrial Marigolds if you are going to be head bottle washer in the matrimonial abode, unless you wish to wash the dishes at 65 degrees for two hours. A dishwasher is far more hygienic than washing them in a mucky old sink, or even worse, a placcy bowl with a bit of Fairy chucked in.
    I suppose your poor FiancĂ©e is also doing her washing on the banks of the Witham too, unless she is doltish enough to want a washing machine.”

    “"I am all for apreciation of asthetics, if that's what girls want to do let them! nothing wrong with a good old fashioned beauty contest, but we are in an equal rights society, so when will Mr lincolnshire be happening?"

    “If you must know, Miss tyfied, I'm 35, engaged (so you're out of luck there, sorry) and passing the time at work because, well, I own it and can do what I want.

    I also probably won't be attending this event as May looks like it will be a busy month for us. I was merely expressing my pleasure that in this ever more joyless, sanitised and politically correct world such an event is going to take place. (I would also be quite happy for Mr Lincolnshire to take place.)

    And yes, I also threw in a bit of tongue in cheek sexism to see if anyone would bite. I guess it's that Friday feeling...”
