On Monday 13 Feb 2018, Haywards Heath RC invited the 4-Clubs to send teams to participate in an “Egg Race.” After a pleasant roast beef and banoffee pie dinner we all retired to the bar where the competition had been set up. There were no eggs in sight – only 20 sticks of spaghetti, a strip of Sellotape, a piece of string and a marshmallow. We had 20 minutes to build the tallest tower with the marshmallow on top.
The RCCL team’s design was by far the most ambitious, but it was let down by the poor quality of the Sellotape, not enough string, and the time insufficient for the superior design to be fine tuned. In the end Jaime tried his magic massage on the rather flimsy legs, but we were missing a sky-hook in order to do a proper job.
