What's an England fan going to do next summer now...spend it cheese rolling?

CRICKET: Daniel Vettori's boys are unlikely to choke like the All Blacks did, but the visit of New Zealand should provide England fans with something to cheer in June.

Cheese: on a roll
GOLF (U.S. Open, June 12-15): Tune in and marvel at the stunning Torrey Pines course — or go one better and fly to California to watch Tiger and his chums in action.
MOTOR RACING (Canadian GP, June 8): Watch Lewis Hamilton (hopefully) continue the defence of his world title. The French GP two weeks later is a less appealing prospect, especially if Thierry Henry and Co are playing in the Alps.
TENNIS (Wimbledon from June 23): No Tim Henman but get down to SW19 to support Andy Murray — he's British!
CHEESE-ROLLING: Head down to Coopers Hill, Gloucestershire, on May 26 to watch or, if you're crazy, participate.
The rules are simple: just chase cheese down a steep incline. You'll bruise, bleed and hurt, but at least you won't have to put up with John Terry's tears.
BOG SNORKELLING (World Mountain Bike Bog Snorkelling Championships, Llanwrytd Wells, July): Ride a bike along a six feet deep trench — and back.
The winner will be afforded "minor celebrity status and great respect and admiration throughout the surrounding area". Bring your own snorkel.
WORM CHARMING (World Championships, Cheshire, June 28): charmers from across the globe gather to entice worms from the soil using only vibrations. Will the record of 511 worms in 30 minutes be beaten?
