We'll have a BBQ running both days, as well as merch for sale, as well as hopefully having sponsor stools there this year with products for sale/testers etc! More details to come. Asking a £3.50 minimum entry for spectators, 100% of which will be going to our chosen charity "Let's Play Project" which is based on the farm. Free entry for kids and doggos, but please keep dogs on leads!)

EVENT 3 IS DIFFERENT FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. Novice and Masters will be throwing Kegs, Opens guys and girls will be fingals fingering.

Fastest time wins.
3B) Fingals Fingers
Trump Style
Each category will have one heavy finger and one light finger.
One flip on the heavier beats any reps on the lighter one.
We're going overboard on safety measures for this event guys - we'll have implements catching the fingers. Also gloves will be provided for all athletes to use. They're old telegraph poles, so we are asking all athletes to wear gloves please. If you'd like to wear your own this is absolutely fine, but we will provide basic gloves of all sizes for all to use too. There will be an opportunity to come test these out in the new year, we're still building them atm, but it'll be heavily tested!!!
4) Mystery Event
"You can't park there" - sadly, it is not a car flip with or without an engine ;)
5) Stone For Reps
Dead simple - Much like the SMOE, you'll have a choice of 3 stones.
1 rep on the heaviest stone beats any reps on a lighter stone.
60s time limit
