For the Malpas Fair 2015 Topwood organised a plate smashing competition. A makeshift wardrobe was decorated with defective plates, cups, teapots and even gravey boats! A large part of Topwood’s business is the destruction of QA rejected stock but this was our first attempt at destroying crockery!

The whole day was terrific fun and a huge thank you to all who supported.
