Discussion
Last year, whilst one of our memebers was having a late afternoon knap, we decided to push his Elise across the campsite, and with his video camera, got people to do a piece to camera saying what a good thrashing they had just had in his car, people pretending to pi** up the side of it etc. One guy even come over, put his lime green borat mankini on, and draped himself across the car. We then pushed the car back and replaced his video camera. Was a laugh the next day when he decided to see what race footage he had recorded!
We tried to see if a gazebo would hold the weight of a small person in the middle...
First we used a log as a seesaw over another log as a catapult. Our smallest group member stood on one end and the biggest group member jumped on t'other, this clearly wasn't going to work.
Next, biggest member of the group jumped off a chair to increase momentum.... Didn't work.
Next, we thought we would try 4 people holding respective hands and feet and swinging said individual up, but he bottled it on '3'
Next, we made a human staircase, firstly someone knelt down, next someone adopted 'Number 8 rugby position', next person bent slightly with hands around the chest of biggest member of the group who stood next to said gazebo. Smallest member tried to run up the staircase, but the third stair collapsed in a heap complaining of a bad back
Lastly, we got the littlest fella to stand on biggest fella's shoulders and jump into the middle........
The gazebo didn't hold his weight... great experiment, very funny at the time, video can be seen here:

A couple of years back one of the lads in our group decided the showers on Houx Annexe were too grim and he'd just use shower in a can. After 4 or 5 days of his soapdodging he looked like a coal miner after overtime, and smelt like a sweaty camel that'd been hosed down with Lynx. So we chased him, pinned him down, and poured a couple of water containers and a bottle of shower gel over him. He wasn't best pleased, but for the rest of us there was much rejoicing

t!In 2007 we had some minimoto's and one of our group 'Le Titch', who with a name like that should have been perfectly suited to them, fell off. 
In 2008 we thought he would be safer on mini quads so took those. How wrong we were. The little feller felt too safe, got too confident, caught the front wheels and went over the front..........the photo shows the result.
Still, on the upside he had a night in a comfy hospital bed and it did his complexion wonders.
This year we are taking a booster cushion and letting him play in full size vehicles only.
