I was thinking of trying to organise for this Summer(on a historically statistically unlikely to rain Saturday) an FGSS D'ohlympics consisting of a couple of semi-serious bike time trials and then a slew of fun team/individual events played on grass with all-day snacking/drinking followed by a picnic or en-masse visit to a restaurant for late, late lunch.
It would happen in Regents Park and one separate location.
The two semi-serious cycling events, an individual time trial up Swains Lane and an individual time trial around Regents inner-ring would happen earlier on in the day(around 9:30-10:00). I would have prizes of NIB lights for the winners of the bike events(poss. 2nd place too)
The main more social and fun events would kick off from 12ish on a good patch of grass in Regents Park proper. These would consist of events like tug-of-war, egg-and-spoon and any other events you guys could think of.
Would be great to get some Polo in there somewhere but I don't think it would really work with the setting/time.
Is this a good idea?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Could anyone offer me some help with the grass events?
