Queen Mary Games

By the time I managed to get to the clan booths CI wasnt there. I did see Larry walking on one of the other levels though.

Here are some pics to the photos of me at the Games.

Great Pictures..
How did you rate?

Solid mid pack mostly. I best at the Stones events, throwing near the top of the field. My worst event was Caber where I never turned the caber, and only got about a 10 degree throw. Last year at the one event I did as a novice I turned the caber 12:00 twice.

This year the QM games had a crew that probably should be moving to B class soon. A bunch of huge monsters really, who train quite a bit. Most havent competed very much though which is why they are still in C's I guess. I placed right under them, and above most everyone else in most events.

Great shots! Glad that you did compete, at least you know you were not at the bottom of the pack.

NOW I see this post, now that everything is over, oh well, there's always next year.
Now, did you all know that the Queen Mary II will be berthed next to the Queen Mary at noon tomorrow? I plan on playing hookie and being there as she berths. I'll take a lot of pics and I'll try to post them if I can figure out how. I have the instructions but I have yet to attempt it.

Chris.

I had no idea! Thats awesome. I'd love to see that but I have to be at work. I wonder if they will be close enough to get in the same shot (I doubt it).

Results are up for the QM games BTW. I came in 11 of 18, not too bad considering the top 6 competitors had numbers that should put them in the class above.

Please be aware that Clan Strachan has been banned from Pomona as has been Clan Inebriated by the actions of one small-minded guy.

Wear your Clan Inebriated shirts proudly!

Just to clarify, the "small minded individual" mentioned was NOT a member of either CI nor Clan Strachan. Rather it is someone who has a personal problem with members of both, and went about stabbing people in the back.

Sorry Yaish- I thought that would be a given that this small minded man was NOT in either Clan Strachan OR Clan Inebriated, I should have been more clear.

I did pretty well. I didnt win any individual events but I was near the top in a few and solid mid pack in the rest. Not bad for my first official HG.

I also joined Clan Strachan afterwards, and I expect to be at Pomona for their Games as well. I'll post pictures later.

Congrats to you, that is a good start. Unfortunately I worked that weekend, and couldn't go, but, Pomona? When, where, ect, if you wouldn't mind. I'm having a heck of a time getting my weekends straight, so I need to book this date on my calender.
If I get that weekend, I'll be there to cheer you on.
