Years ago we had an inter-branch tournament. We had 2 teams and it involved running with lots of water in buckets or being wheeled in wheelbarrows. We had penalty shoot outs and hockey dribbling relays. Tug of wars, throwing things, all the kiddie races. It was great fun. We had a little rain, but we were so hot it helped to cool us down - and we got wet anyway.

I'm sure that you will have a great time, but the muscles will definitely ache later on - especially from laughing non-stop!
