THE annual tug-of-war competition that sees the losing team ditched in a cold river will take place on Boxing Day.
The match will take place at the Nags Head pub in Moreton, Ongar, from noon between a team from the pub and the nearby White Hart, with the losers jumping in Crispey Brook, in line with tradition.
There will also be a hog roast and barbecue outside the pub from 10.30am.
