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
I’m currently trying to come up with a couple more events that are easy to put on, can include people of all sporting abilities and don’t involve taking lots of equipment. All suggestions are welcome, so comment and let me know yours!
The date and location are yet to be confirmed, but get in touch if you’re interested! We will of course be filming the event as well!
