Introduction to the new Website

As frequent visitors to oldspots.com may know, a change in committee has called for a new online presence. This website has been set up as an immediate solution, but will grow and develop in time. The forum is a perfect place for members and visitors to discuss the needs of the club and suggest how the website can be developed further once time and funding allow. Please keep feedback constructive and do not expect instant results.

News articles are always welcome from members or friends from anywhere in the world. Please e-mail your contributions to mail@oldspots.org.uk. We're especially keen to receive photographs or drawings of Old Spot pigs as we hope to build a substantial online photo gallery in due course.

Did You Know?
Pig's Face Day is celebrated every other year in the village of Avening in the Cotswolds. A story of unrequited love, it goes back over 900 years when Matilda fell in love with an Englishman, Brittic, who was on a mission to Flanders. He did not reciprocate. She later married William the Conqueror and when she joined her victorious husband in England, almost her first act was to have Brittic, who lived at Avening Court, thrown into gaol, where he died. Overcome with remorse, Matilda commissioned a church to be built at Avening which was completed in 1080 and in celebration, she feasted the builders with boar's head - colloquially Pig's Face.
