| LESS
TRADITIONAL MOMENTS ... |
 |
 |
 |
| Sue
and Bob getting percussion backing - and a helping leg up |
Jerry
collecting hats |
Alun
heading for an early bath |
 |
 |
 |
| Just
jump for goodness sake |
Just
kick him for goodness sake |
Harry
- what did you just do to the young lady?? |
 |
 |
 |
| Cherry
keeping a watchful eye on GW's 'volunteers' |
Lots
go through GW's Mrs Casey arch .... |
...
nearly as magical as BB's 'Fairies' arch |
| CRAFT-Y
ACTIVITIES ON THE BOAT TRIP |
 |
 |
 |
| Holt
assembling their Orbit Tower ... |
Betties
assembling theirs ... |
...
but BB's engineer Rob has the answer - a broad base! |
 |
 |
 |
| The
finished article |
Flag
& Bone showing size isn't important |
 |
 |
 |
Working
hard on the flags for the later medal ceremonies, using materials
carefully chosen by Bob to go with team colours -
and with Will showing previously hidden talents |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Some
of the finished flags - Mortimers scored extra points for a double sided
one
Thanks to Fools Gambit volunteers for the BB flag! |
| OUTDOOR
SPORTS |
 |
 |
 |
| Tim
explains the coloured water race - and remember Great Western, cheats
never prosper |
Bettys
line up for the '2 plank' race ... |
...
which had several teams bemused ... |
 |
 |
 |
| ...
stacking the planks with people was definitely not the answer ... |
...
but GW got the idea and were worthy winners ... |
The
start of one of the Spacehopper heats .... |
 |
 |
 |
| A
wide variety of jumping styles - with hindsight the togas provided too
much wind resistance |
| THE
OLYMPIC EVENING |
 |
 |
 |
| Your
MC for the evening - Uncle Paul! |
With
the Olympic flame lit, the cheerleaders opened the show (good 'cheer
face', Lee) |
Fine
posing, boys |
 |
 |
 |
| 'Boris'
cutting the BB celebration cake ... |
...
for which many thanks to Linda, Bob and Sue |
Once
cut, Boris ran through some of his classier dance moves |
 |
 |
 |
| Pass
the Olympic Ring (OK, hula hoop) over the joined line |
BB
well on the way to coming last |
One
of the evening's medal ceremonies - all accompanied by tasteful team
anthems |
 |
 |
 |
| Fools
Gambit's spot involved some complicated Greek ... |
...
and the chosen drinks of members home teams |
GW's
blindfolded egg and spoon race plus 'helpers' - won by the Queen |
 |
 |
 |
| GW's
sack race - though everyone's sack was sabotaged except for the Duke |
GW's
royal family winning the tug of war (their rope being tied to an outside
bollard helped) |
Flag
and Bone's near lethal 'if I were an Olympian' spot |
 |
 |
 |
| Holt's
entry for the 'X-rated Factor' |
It's
a 'no' from all of us - sorry, pet |
Mortimers
musicians blending in nicely with the incidental scenery .... |
 |
 |
 |
| ...
while their dancers synchronised beautifully (and hoped the sea stayed
in place) |
After
Vladimir Putin (host of next winter Olympics) receives the flame, the
Russian anthem! |
...
followed by a Russian finale. Of sorts. |
