As we approach the final club event for the year, our presentation night, its worth reading how they run this event in Vilnius. Roving bendigo correspondent Evan Barr has just arrived in Vilnius in time for the local end of season celebration. Here is his AttackPoint report.
"Indre's orienteering club breakup tonight out in the countryside, arrived pretty late and it seemed everyone was waiting for us to start their annual(weekly?/monthly? im not sure) club beer/vodka-o...there was a lot of lithuanian being spoken and i couldnt really worked out what was going on but before i knew it i had been tied to some poor girl, had a beer and shot of vodka poured down my throat and had been sent out into the forest with a map to do a three-legged night-o while being half cut... pretty good fun.. nearly got a kidney stone by the end though, couldnt work out how to say "can we please stop for a bit, im busting for a piss, ay" in lithuanian, to the girl i was tied to."
Our local event will be tame by comparison.
