All Occupation VIPs in the Parish of St Martin are invited by the Connétable to take part in the 2025 Jersey Royal potato growing competition as part of the Liberation 80 events.
The competition is again being organised by the Genuine Jersey Products Association.
The Occupation VIP class was introduced in 2022 as the Parish Connétables recognised that senior parishioners had missed out on celebrating Liberation Day in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus restrictions.
An ‘Occupation VIP’ is a person who was either resident in Jersey during the Occupation, evacuated, deported or who served in the forces at that time.
Anyone born on or before 9 May 1945 who meets one of these criteria and who wishes to take part should contact their Parish by Friday 24 January 2025 to register to take part.
The Genuine Jersey, Jersey Royal potato growing kits will be distributed in early February 2025 and the weigh-in will be on Friday 16 May 2025.
