Art Hewitt, the co-ordinator of the 2007 Whitstable Oyster Festival, entered the Oyster Eating Competition held today at Whitstable Harbour. Unfortunately the showman in him got the better of his competitive instincts and he managed to record what will go down in the annals of Whitstable history as the slowest time ever recorded in this annual competition.



Interviewed afterwards Art said "If I've learnt anything whilst working here amongst the people of Whitstable it's that there's no need to rush anything."
