Perfect Pear

Monday, 2 June 2008

Jon and I are organising the inaugural 'Belle De June' Pairs Orienteering event this weekend. This came about as we had been assigned the task of running an event described vaguely in the program as a 'fun-relay'.  Since nobody was able to specify the format we should follow we decided to make up our own rules and modelled the event on the old Uringa Pairs event that used to be held in NSW and had arguably the best orienteering trophies in the whole of the Southern Hemisphere (others would argue that the Toukley Two-Day fruit-cakes were the best but I'm not a fruit-cake fan so it's a one horse race in my opinion).  Anyway - these are our own version of the winners trophies.  All the credit goes to mum for semi-willingly doing the knitting (she had to knit 4) and to Dad for the supplying and machining the wood for the bases. Apart from coming up with the slightly borrowed concept (the original trophies were black and white and made entirely of wood)   all I had to do was some light gluing and varnishing.
