The Record Holders' Republic is establishing a new classification for seniors.

It will be open to all people aged 65 and over.

When aged 69, John Evans set the first senior record by balancing

110 Christmas puddings on his head, walking ten feet from his stand and keeping

them in place for ten seconds without using his hands. The record was set

at the Winter Wonderland Show, Bakewell Showground, Derbyshire on November 18,

2016. It was witnessed by a BBC film crew, a local newspaper photographer and

an audience of the public. The puddings were later sold to raise money for

BBC Children in Need.
