We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent us an email about our countryside photo shoot so far!

If you are about to send an email through, please make sure you include your full name, age, address, phone number and a bit about yourself too. Also, please make sure you include headshots and at least one full length photograph.

Do you want to earn £150?
In 2006, Muddy Matches co-founders Emma and Lucy were planning the launch of their new website and roped in a group of their friends to take part in a countryside photo shoot. We all had a fantastic day, and many laughs, mucking about on a farm for different shots and it was from this that we got the photos that you will see on the website today.
Six years later, however, we feel that it is time to freshen up the site and, since we were all in our 20s then, to hopefully better represent the broad age range of people who use Muddy Matches…and this is where you come in!
On Saturday 7th July 2012, we are planning another countryside photo shoot in Northamptonshire and are looking for fun and outgoing muddy people of all ages to take part. We are not looking for Britain’s next top model, just nice normal-looking people who aren’t afraid of a camera – we’ll all be making wallies of ourselves posing for pictures and you’ll need to enter into the spirit of things!
Everyone selected will be paid £150 plus travel and we’re sure you’ll have a lot of fun at the shoot so, if you are interested in taking part, please read on for more details and instructions on how to apply. Also, please do tell any of your muddy friends who are up for a laugh and interested in earning a few quid – you don’t need to be registered on Muddy Matches to take part. › Continue reading
Women In Rural Enterprise
When Lucy said that we were going to a conference my first thought was to pre-load with caffeine in preparation for endless PowerPoint presentations, but Women in Rural Enterprise doesn’t do things that way! Even upon entry we could sense the buzz in the room.

Results from Royal County of Berkshire Show
Emma and I had a great time at the Royal County of Berkshire Show last weekend and really enjoyed judging the small tradestands. There were more than 80 in our category to look at and it was hard to choose between so many great stands but after much deliberating we finally settled on three stands to take the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.
And the winners were…
Third place went to Mil-tek who make waste balers and compactors. We thought it was a really well laid out and eye catching technical stand and the staff were really friendly.

Second place went to Farmer Brown’s Products who manufacture and supply high quality wild bird, poultry and animal feeds. Their products looked great and we thought they had done a great job in making their stand look friendly and inviting.
Farmer Brown's Products - bird seed and animal feed
And finally a big congratulations to Albert Rose who took first place. A quirky-looking stand selling country chic accessories, furniture and furnishings for the home and garden, we thought this stand had the wow factor in terms of presentation.
