Simplympics 2009

afternoon all,

the next two weeks sees the momentous event of:

The 2009 2nd Annual Simplympics

this year the events are:

- shot put (as the title suggests but with boules)

- rock, paper, scissors

- stonut (throwing stones through a hooped target from ever increasing distances)

- snail racing/boule-sand balance (yet to be finalised)

- hoopla (throwing a hoop over a target)

- javelin (coppicing, peeling, shaping and then throwing a javelin)

- stilt race (a race on stilts)

- spatula carving (rudie ate our spatula and so we're going to make five more!)

- greenhouse sweathouse (an ingenious event during which we will dress in warm winter clothes and see who can withstand the heat of the greenhouse for the longest - oh yeah!)

- poker

- table tennis

- fluffy bunnies (who can stuff the most marshmallows in their mouth and still be able to say the words 'fluffy bunnies')

- pea bottle (dropping dried peas from a height into a bottle - apparently very difficult)

- individual jenga (each person see how high they can make a tower)

- wood collecting (simply practical - we need firewood!!!)

- dice curling (the noble game of curling but using dice, a baguette and a long walnut table)

- assault course

- dessert challenge (we will each have the same ingredients and the winner is the person who makes the tastiest dessert - a win-win situation for all involved)

- boules

- paper aeroplane contest

after two events here are the scores as they stand:



drop by later to see how the games progress.....

right, i'm off to practice at boules before this evenings event.

cheers, gairy.
