BALLS
were flying and frozen chickens were sliding everywhere as RAAF
Base Tindal personnel enjoyed a recent base fun day.
With
the majority of No. 75 Squadron deployed, the base was in need
of an immediate morale boost – and what better way to do
that than participate in some of the wackiest activities imaginable.
On
a day when strange behaviour was the norm, the most bizarre challenge
was the frozen chook bowl – a combination of ice curling
and chicken farming.
The
final event of the day, the iron person challenge, was just as
zany.
Each
participant was required to run a lap of the gym, complete two
push-ups and return to the start line to consume a mystery item
of food or drink.
Dry
Weetbix, children’s rusks and Berocca were just some of the
substances the iron men and women of Tindal had to swallow.
“At
the end of the challenge there was food everywhere, drinks all
over the participants’ clothes and people holding their stomachs
– and these were just the spectators,” one of the organisers
said. “We can’t honestly say who won this monstrosity
but it was extremely entertaining to watch and was a great way
to finish off a terrific event.”
The
team Muckedupfunkeys emerged as the overall winners of the fun
day activities.
