Scottish Highland Games are coming to Grafenwoehr and Vilseck, Germany!

Perhaps my kilt wearing is having some impact on the Military Communities here.

A brigade here at Grafenwoehr is planning an organizational day in November, and they want to have some Scottish Athletic events. I'm trying to help them get the equipment together. I have the rules from the North American Scottish Highland Games Association which gives standards for most equipment, but not Cabers. Seems to be somewhat subjective.

I've seen them at games, but never really measured them.

Dan any of our athletic competitors out there give me some general dimensions? Or a range of dimensions, Length, diameters, and weiights?

I found the thread from Yaish about using chains to make up weights. Think I'll give that a try.

Then, Next May, our Morale, Welfare, and Recreation team wants to have a Highland Games in Vilseck. They have already booked a Celtic Rock Band (seems to be popular with Germans). I can use the equipment for that also.

I don't play the bagpipes, but I'll probably show up at the events in a Kilt to add some atmosphere to the event!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and would be great fun for our troops!

Thanks,
