TUG O WAR

For those of you who don't know, the World Police and Fire Games is currently being held in Adelaide. I signed up to be a volunteer. After numerous hours lining up to have my photo taken for my accreditation the other week, and confusion as to what time i had to be there, my event was tug o war last saturday. So aside from getting to Glenelg at 7am on a saturday, and helping set up, score and time, i got to watch lots of guys (and some girls) play tug o war. In the photos i have the SA MFS, CFS boys, UK Revenue and Customs, then the Malaysian Police. Unfortunately no aussie teams won any medals. UK Revenue and customs won most of their categories, the Pommy bobbys did well too. The Malaysian police were so strong, they would have done really well but kept getting disqualified for sitting on the ground! I learnt a lot on my day doing Tug O War, i didn't realise there were special boots (they look like ski boots), hand stuff (petrol and resin i believe to keep your grip on the rope), and so many teams that competed! I even got some badges given to me from the Taiwanese group.
