County Cooking Competition 2005
Thirty-two teams from around GLSW entered this year’s County Cooking Competition at 1st Hook Scout Headquarters. Each team had to prepare and cook a three course meal for four people within two hours, and with ingredients costing less than £12.50 in total. This year up to 10 bonus points were available for presenting a meal with an imaginative interpretation of the competition theme – “The Americas”.

A full table of the results is shown below. There is also a gallery of pictures taken at the competition and two interactive QuickTime panoramas showing the teams in action in the lower hall and the upper hall.
The competition was very close, with only two points separating the top five teams. This year’s winners were the 3rd Cheam team with 65 points; the Leander and 2nd Teddington teams jointly held second place with 64 points while the 8th Morden A and Berrylands B teams jointly held third place with 63 points.
All the teams that entered the competition were presented with commemorative GLSW napkins in napkin rings. Six special judges’ awards of GLSW tea towels were also presented.
