I like George's ideas for 'folkie sports'. I remember a well known pastime as a student during rag week was the traditional 'putting a piano through a hoop' which involved breaking a piano into pieces small enough to go through a small hoop. The winning team was the one that did it in the fastest time. I can't remember where we got all the pianos from, but I don't think it was Boosey & Hawkes :-)

Maybe we could have some other ideas for such sports, that could be done at Dulverton. We've had bodhran throwing and guitar stringing suggested by George.

How about a shakey eggs and spoons race? You have to play the spoons in one hand and shake the egg in the other, and keep time while running. Or even when standing still.

Or a Child ballad endurance test? A singer sings the longest Child ballads he can find, one after the other, and the last member of the audience to stay awake wins.

Any other ideas folks?
