On the bank next to the Lake a big sign with a giant horse shoe plastered on it has been thrust into the sand. Behind it the professors have staked out 8 different coloured croquet sticks in the sand in a slalom like fashion. Every student gets three horse shoes and attempts to throw it at the coloured sticks. These horse shoes have been charmed so that they are magically banished to the sticks, so please take care when aiming because it would be really unfortunate if one was to go hurling in a random direction and hurt someone. You have 3 attempts to get your shoes stuck to the sticks, so take a deep breathe, relax, aim then FIRE!... or just throw it as hard and as accurately as you can, like a normal person. Accidentally throwing the shoe into the lake won’t score you any points but maybe an angered giant squid that will show his head and flap a tentacle at you.

So if you are feeling lucky, are focused and have a good arm, then try this event for a chance to win commemorative tokens and bragging rights.

Good luck competitors!

The Rules:

1. Each student has 3 horse shoes, and therefore three attempts at glory.
   
2. You must RP throwing the horse shoes at the sticks. The sticks are coloured blue, green, orange, pink, red, purple, yellow and brown. Take your pick! (Don't forget to tell us which colour stick your horse shoe is banished to!)
   
3. You are allowed to throw more than one shoe around the same stick.
   
4. You need to RP 3 quality posts to banish all of your horse shoes. By "quality" we mean at least one good sized paragraph, 4 lines of text, and a bit of effort put into the posts.
   
5. No pushing, shoving or use of magic to gain an advantage will be tolerated!
   
6. The professors will be keeping score and the results will be announced at the end of the game.
   
7. Have fun!
