Wholesome, yet not-so-clean, fun

There may have been a time in your life when you have thought to yourself, "I wonder what it feels like to wear jelly?"  Well on Saturday some brave souls from Hobart YSA turned up at Risdon Brook Dam to find out.  After a week of beautiful weather, there was only one cloud in the sky....one very big, big cloud, extending as far as the eye could see and blocking out all the sun.  But it did not rain at our lovely location, which included scenic views of the famed Risdon Prison.  And so, after a brief photoshoot, the game began.
Two teams. Two "flags". Two jelly colours.  With a few simples rules each team had to try to capture their opponent's flag and bring it back to theirs, risking being hit with a jelly-filled waterbomb with either red or green jelly.  Oh and there was one more thing - some of them were actually  filled with custard ...not jelly.  The jelly-throwing at last ended when the supplies had run out, and I think a flag may have been captured, but to be honest I was too distracted trying to avoid the jelly.

The "after" photos exhibit some of the general damage done (more photos are in the slideshow at the bottom of the page)














After some hosing-down of those who needed it (and some who didn't), we headed to Geilston Bay for a speedy BBQ to replenish our energy supplies until next time...

Well done Lewie G for dreaming up this sticky (yet tasty) event =D
