Adult Sports Day!
I have decided to try and stage an adult sports day for my friends this summer! I was inspired to do this after attending sports day at the school of my girlfriend's son a couple of weeks ago. I had forgotten what fun sports day at primary school used to be and lots of memories came flooding back to me, including one where my best friend and I were disqualified from the three-legged race, despite our best efforts to keep our legs together after the rag tied to our legs fell off! (I don't think I ever got over that one.)
The plan is to arrange a day when everyone that is game can make it and the weather is nice. We'll go to a local park, take some beers and a picnic and the games will commence!
I'm yet to convince everyone about this idea, but I'm sure with some gentle persuasion and the lure of food and drink I can get enough people to make it worth while. So far I have come up with the following events:
- Three-legged Race
- Pickled Egg & Spoon Race (in honour of Dicko's love of pickled eggs)
- Sleeping Bag Race (replacing the sack race)
- Wheelbarrow Race
- Beanbag Throwing
- Piggyback Race
- Tug Of War
