I've actually lost count of how many people are attending, it's well over 20, now. Remember to bring carnivorous items for your party, and something to share with 6-8 others. The Shy Bethany .."She Who Shall Be Obeyed" is bringing plates and a salad, though probably not a salad for 20!. Charlie and Elissa are bringing some sort of dessert. I'm bringing a veggie for BBQ'ing.
I've done something like this here in my area. My unit organization day is next week and the Commander asked me to run the Commander's Cup activities to include a mini Highland Games.
I've made my own implements out of pipes and weights and plan on throwing light weights. I'm afraid to try the caber, so maybe next time. Unfortunately I've already hurt myself practicing the WFD with the 42lb weight. The MRI is next week.
One question I have is where did you get the steel bars that are worn on your shoes to stabilize the feet during the hammer throw?
If there are any throwers in central Virginia who want to help me run the mini games, let me know and I'll get you some tickets for Thursday next week.
We had great fun on Sunday; it was nice to meat so many nice people, my son Steven got hook on the heavy event. He wants to set up a practice area at the house, we have 7.4 acres. I think he will thy it at the Scottish Games when he can.
Thanks Alan for setting it up for us, I wish we didn’t have to level so early.
