The SAGE show has announced that the UK Loggers National Championships will be held at their event this year.

The competition, which showcases the expertise and skills of the best loggers from around the country, will be hosted on the 19th and 20th of July 2023, at the Three Counties showground in Malvern, Worcestershire.

The UK Loggers National Championship is a test of precision and skill determining an overall precision chainsaw champion - with the best among the competitors going on to represent their country at the World Logging Championship next year. Consisting of five disciplines, the championship tests every facet of logging - from cross cutting, to felling, limbing, a chain change and a relay race.

Richard Siddons from UK Loggers said, “When we learnt more about SAGE and how it’s all about providing interactive, hands-on experiences and demonstrations, it was clear this would be the ideal place to hold the UK Loggers National Championships.

“Not only is there a huge amount of outside space available for us to hold the contest, we’ll also be surrounded by people who will appreciate the skill and experience of those taking part in the competition.

“We plan to put on a great show for those watching, who will also hopefully learn a little more about the many different aspects of precision chainsaw competing. And, of course, the champion will also be crowned, as well as the best few chosen to represent the UK next year at a global level.”
