The Gauntlet has been thrown!
Discussion
Hi
Well the Dutch have announced that they are coming to the Fest,
and they have thrown the Gauntlet down for a Tug of War competition. 
I was not at the previous fest when the last Tug was done, so please help here!
How about we have four teams:
The Dutch team.
One team from north of the boarder. (If the Rusties are coming?) plus people from just south of the boarder i.e. Lakes etc!
One team made up from below the lakes to the midlands, including the Welsh!
One team made up from down south!
I think that covers everybody!
If you are happy with that idea then we can ask for people to volunter for the teams!
O! has anybody got a rope!

Someone did get a proper tug of war rope last time
Unfortunately I had a hernia at that time and couldn't compete for the English
but am all fit and well for this one!!!!
Mind you it doesn't take much to beat the Ditchies
as I am sure they were sponsored by "Mr Muscle Cleaner" for obvious reasons!!! Ha ha

Excellent. I remember this from the 2006 wedge fest. It's on the dvd that I produced as well. Lets just say we nearly all could of died laughing our heads off at the time.... Just hope that I can afford to go this year, as I have had to miss the last few due to not having enough funds 
I will be up for it but i might still be drunk form the traditional friday night welcome drink!...I suppose i could always stop drinking early..Say 3.00am instead of 4...
..Not sure if i can get a rope but have an old tyre that i can make some grip flops out of..I may even make a batch to sell..."Get a grip...Get a grip flop"!...

I say the cloggies have to wear their clogs and bring bulbs and the jocks wear their skirts (commando) etc..
That's not likely to be fair to the southern cockneys though is it: laden with iPhones, iPads, AppleMacs and a pint of shandy, their free hand won't be able to grip the rope for the soversign ring...

I'd love to throw my weight in on the Midlands / English team, not too sure whether the team would need my whole 10 stone or not though
I could always offer my services as the official Shandy, iPad, iPhone, multiple apple product, Sovereign holder
to the English / Cockney team!That's the coins, not the queen, before anyone says anything!

Does your wheel chair have a handbrake and room underneath for lead ballast.
Yes mine can be adapted, so I will put my name down for the team who gives the biggest amount to charity! Now on a more serious note, theh Tug of war is on.
There will be a trophy for the winning team!

If we get more people than needed (The Boarders are filling up well) we can always increase the teams!
