Photo Call – Put your running shoes on!
It’s the Virgin London Marathon this weekend, one of the biggest running events in the world and, whilst none of us at Muddy Matches HQ will be taking part (maybe it’s something MM Lucy would consider for next year?), I’m sure we’ll be watching the athletes and fun runners alike enduring the 26 miles (best not forget the other 385 yards) of cobbles and tarmac!
Here are a few of our members who also appear to enjoy getting out and about in their running shoes! If you would like to find out more about any of the members below then click on the image to be taken to their profile.
Photo Call – Mud, Mud Glorious Mud!
Being called ‘Muddy Matches’ we couldn’t resist adding a ‘Photo Call’ containing lots of mud, could we? So, here are some of our members getting very, very ‘Muddy’ indeed!
If you would like to find out more about them, or maybe send a message wishing them a Happy Christmas, click on the images below to be taken directly to their profile.
*The Muddy Matches Team wish all of you A Very Happy Christmas and New Year!

CLA Game Fair – Photos and Thank Yous
We’re back from another fantastic CLA Game Fair which this year was held in the grounds of the stunning Blenheim Palace.
Our Stand
An action-packed couple of days as always, we were on site from Thursday morning getting the Muddy Matches motorhome in position and setting up our stand. We were a bit scared as it chucked it down with rain for most of the day but luckily the weather cleared before everyone arrived on the Friday.
In fact, we were blessed with the weather as it was an absolute scrocher for most of the weekend and there were nearly 150,000 visitors to the show over the three days – the second highest number of visitors in the show’s 53-year history!
We all had a great time on our stand as literally hundreds of our members (past, present and joined-at-the-Game Fair) popped in to have a chat. We signed up hundreds of new members and were giving out a week’s free subscription to current members who came to say hello so, if you’re still looking to meet rural singles who love the muddy lifestyle, now is an excellent time to be using the site. Why not do a search for our ‘newest members’ and send some of them a message to welcome them to the site?
Success Stories
Just a couple of years ago, we were celebrating the fact that 17 couples came up to us at the Game Fair to say that they were getting married or living together. Can you believe then that around 65 couples came up to us this year to say that they were either engaged or married?! There were also a lot more who had recently met and a few others who were there on a first date, inspired perhaps by Gareth and Kelly’s story that had featured in the Daily Telegraph the week before?

One couple, Charles and Sophie, met on the website in 2008 and came to tell us about it at the 2009 Game Fair. Two years on, we were delighted to hear that they had got married – a big congratulations to them both!

The ‘Muddy AfFair’ Dating Show
Packed audience
A big thank you to the three strapping chaps – Jake, Jonathan and Martin – who took part in our dating show in the Game Fair Theatre on the Saturday. They were fantastic fun and completely entered into the spirit of the show to whoops of approval from the packed audience.
Claire with Jonathan Hannah
Hosted by Apprentice finalist Claire Young, each chap took their turn to try and impress a group of about 20 country girls with a view to taking one of them on a date at the end of the show. First up was Jonathan, who ended up picking Hannah, then Jake who picked Stephanie and finally Martin who picked Mary.

After the show, the three couples went off to enjoy a bottle of champage and a yummy picnic in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. A massive thank you to Pipers Crisps, Lymn Bank Farm Cheese Company, Mr Pitchfork’s Pickles, Deli Farm Charcuterie, Belleau Smokery, Loopy Lisa’s Fudge and Breckland Orchard who were all exhibiting at the Game Fair and kindly supplied the goodies for the picnic.
Next year’s Game Fair is being held at Belvoir Castle near Grantham, Leicestershire – see you there?
