    Piel Island - XRV Quiz and school sports day

    I thought that while we were on the island on Sunday morning we would have a bit of time to kill and thought something like an "XRV School Sports day" would be a bit of fun. This would involve events like:
    3(or 5) legged race,
    sack race,
    wheelbarrow race,
    jumping backwards,
    obstacle race (perhaps),
    relay race,
    welly wanging,
    Motorcycle pushing.
    and whatever else you or I can think of. They need to be easy to organise and not require too many props or referees.

    I can also visit the island beforehand and see if I can up with some sort of treasure hunt - appropriate given its an Island.

    and for the night before an XRV quiz.

    We could also do some motorcycle themed events eg Tyre changing race, and errm ???? can't think of anything else.

    Also camping stove race - fastest to heat up a half litre of water.

    So, is this a good idea. If it is I am happy to come up with a programme to keep us busy for a 2-3 hours.

    Any other realistic ideas for events.

    I have also written to Lancaster Honda looking for sponsorship goodies for prizes.

    Ya wuss's. The whole point is a bit of fun while hopelessly hungover. If anyone takes it too seriously they will find themselves seriously handicapped and winning prizes they wished they hadn't.
