Need Help: Org Day Highland Games
You're not going to believe this one. Ok, here goes. Now, I've done a lot of talking up my Scottish heritage at my unit. I convinced the Commander to let us wear kilts on Casual Fridays. We celebrated Tartan Day by passing out paper ribbons printed in tartan. I even got the Unit logo changed to a clan badge. (Thanks Caberdancer) Now, here's the kicker. The HHC Commander has asked me to coordinate for this years Organizational Day (basically a giant Brigade sized BBQ) to include Highland Athletics. He wants this years theme to be ethnic and he's tired of the usual softball and football tournaments. So he asked me to develop basically a mini Highland Games.
Now I've done some research here and at NASGAWEB as well. Matter of fact, I got some great ideas on how to make my own implements from the forum here. My problem is time. If I have a lot of people show up, I might run out of time.
So, for you iron throwers out there, which would be better. One event at a time, or round robin. In other words, would it be ok if I have five events going all at once, and when the competitors have completed their event, they move to the next one, or should I have one event going at one time and when everyone is done, set up for the next event. Room is not an issue as we will have the entire park to ourselves.
The events I plan to have are Open Stone, Braemer Stone, WFD, WFH, and Hammer. I don't have a sheaf, and frankly the CDR is afraid someone will stab themselves with the pitchfork. And I'm scared of trying the caber. Although I have thought about finding a very light 16' tree just so people can say they've tried it.
Please tell me what you think, and I thank you ahead of time for your input.
