Sports & Raft Race Weekend
Posted: Tuesday, 26 July 2005 |
So we are now counting down the days to one of the busiest weekends of the Island's year.
Friday night will see islanders and visitors dancing the night away in the Hall to the wee hours of the morning. There will be those who are "pacing themselves" for the weekend's events, those that are "saving themselves" for the tug-o-war competition and those who are just there for the whole shebang!
Saturday will see Sailean bay full of home made rafts, some sleek, lots not so sleek. I'm wondering if there will be any rafts that are just wardrobes this year!
There's also the judging of the best named raft.
Then on Saturday night it's up to Baligarve for the Annual Barbeque and Barndance. This is the last year that Anne and Donnie are hosting the event, but have assured islanders that they are more than welcome to use the barn in coming years.
Iris (South Team's Coach) has apparently secured an anchor for the South's Men Tug O War team. George McColl is in New Zealand (there's a plus point for loads of competitors and also the South Men's Team). Maybe this year the South will manage a clean sweep and win the Children's pull, the Ladies' Pull and the Men's Pull.
Oh look - flying pink pig just going by the window.....
