Title: Tug of War rope Wanted
Post by: Julesp on June 08, 2011, 20:11:11 PM: Hi FiG are holding a summer fair in the park and along the strip of bars that include Vals, Irland and Kismet bar a week on Saturday 18th June starting 4 30pm
:D

We have teams for a Tug O War competition but we are without a rope! :-\

Does anyone know of someone with suitable rope that we could borrow for the day? I know we could go and buy but we at FiG like to keep our costs as low as possible so that the vast bulk of money raised goes to the various projects we fund
We are running teams of 8 in a knockout style competition so something suitable for that would be ideal

Thank you in advance and with everything crossed :D:D:D

This was borrowed by the Calis Association for this year's Calis Carnival so Pete will contact Mete to get it returned so you can borrow it. Don't forget you will need gloves for the teams (these can be purchased cheaply at any hardware shops) or there are going to be some very sore hands.

It does depend on the numbers/force in each team however. You'll see what I mean if you google 'tug of war accident'. There are many going back over the years. Best to be aware.

I Dont know whether its Sisal or hemp but its certainly one of those, its definately not a man made material, but thanks for the advice anyway
