Next festival. Instead of 'Stone the Heritic', how about...

What were you guys using for cabers/hammers at that time?

The hammer was a block of wood with a rope going through it tied off into a handle

I know most of the gypsies wont mind playing shirts versus skins

Umm, correction, MALE gypsies don't mind playing shirts versus skins... Female gypsies have another opinion on that 

Also, male gypsies don't mind female gypsies playing shirts versus skins

We have latex, foam, boffer weapons.  We even have fake bottles and a foam "wooden" barrel.  Yet somehow, it was ok'd to use a wood block with rope for a phys-rep for the hammer toss.  ???  I missed some really good event from the past huh...  

Lots of games where a head was kicked around, or swatted.  Probably some version of Rugby would pass muster, but who wants to play?

i totally play rugby with a severed head physrep
