Build a caber and they'll come

Well, it's not quite that simple, but how many places can you go to practice with a caber, Braemar stone, or sheaf and highbar? Six of our competitors met for such a practice session this past Saturay, September 20th, as a reschedule of our Sept. 6th date that was a rainout thanks to Hanna.
We had Kathy and Jeannie returning to tune up for their sibling rivalry on Game day. We regret that Robin had to withdraw but heartily support her in this decision. Our ladies 'had at it' with stone, sheaf and caber and are looking better everytime they throw. The bar keeps moving up for the sheaf toss!
Our men were represented by Chris Mitchum and our three competitors from last year: Mike, Chuck and Paul; Paul made the drive from Aldie, VA, so you know he's motivated. Chuck narrowly missed an airborne collision with Mike's demo stone toss for the ladies. Mike is supposed to be the responsible athletic director; you'd think he'd look down field before letting lose. Chuck was spared a trip to the ER and Mike learned an important lesson.
We welcomed newcomer, Chris Mitchum, of Joppa, MD to the practice field. Chris and Paul had personal firsts in turning caber #1; now how about caber #2 guys? Congratulations to all on a successful practice and some personal bests.
This is all firing up to be a great competition for ladies and men on October 25th. Next and final practice is Saturday, October 4th, fittingly a birthday for our own Chuckie Mchaggis.
