As we enter in to double figures
for the Access Point 12 days of Christmas fun, we had a game that involved
tinsel and exercise as well as lots of fun!
The game in question is
Lords-a-Leaping Tinsel skipping rope!
With so many fantastic games
already everyone wondered how this would turn out. Potentially broken arms,
legs or even necks but as long as the computers and phones didn’t break and we
could keep selling David was happy to take on any legal tribunal!
In team one we had James “Sick
Boy” Wilcoxson and Caroline “Old Bird” Chong (her own words!).
Facing them from
team two we had Jenny “Party Animal” Wainwright and Lisa “Liza” Gornelli. With
one minute of skipping to go the stakes were high and with no training done we
had the first aider at the ready in case anyone keeled over!
Lisa went off like a
train and James put in a ambling yet consistent performance (no wonder he has
another child on the way!) Jenny was too busy laughing and trying her best to
break the tinsel but funny as always.
Lisa started to fade, and from nowhere
Caroline had the eye of the tiger and raced in to the lead with 20 seconds of
adrenaline fueled school yard skipping to claim first place and the crown for
her and James who strolled home in second.
Over at Liverpool Kirsty won the skipping for being so enthusiastic....and the only one willing to give it a go!
Dressing up today was Mark as Father Christmas and Rob - who has pledged to spend all day dressed as a little angel!
