The Hogarth Club Summer Games 2024 - Photos and Video

What a day! Sun? Check. Fun? Check. Water guns? Check, check, check and check.

A few months ago in the secluded offices of Hogarth Towers, the management team got together and thought, “What can we get them to do this year?” …and the Hogarth Games were born.

A decathlon where everyone’s contributions mattered in the 10 events, ending in an exciting head-to-head medal showdown.

10 teams showed up and showed out. The camaraderie and support for each other drove teams to achieve some great results.

The competition was wholesome,

The t-shirts so popular that some people stole some!

Let them wear them with pride,

They all put great effort in and tried.

The cycling burned some legs,

The spoons spilled some eggs.

Shooting the basketball scored some hoops,

The sled was pulled mightily by all of the troops.

The shot was putted far and landed,

At the wheelbarrow, grazes were bandaged.

The leapfrog saw some big consecutive jumps,

The tyre flipping was so marvellous it gave us goosebumps.

The rowing saw some beastly efforts, everyone knew they were in a race

But more than anything everyone seemed to enjoy the water guns and shooting the gym manager in the face.

 

Somehow, against all the odds (and general mathematics), there was an eight-way tie for third spot. A cliffhanger ensued as we had to draw a third-place team to join Teams 1 and 6 in the three way final. Team 3 was pulled from a makeshift hat and that, as they say, is that.

Team 3 stormed ahead in the final medal round. However, it was not over, as they were being chased down by Team 1 on the final cycle station who were gaining by the second. But they held on to snatch a deserved gold, Team 1 got the silver and Team 6 won the bronze.

Big thanks to all the competitors who came and made the event a great day, as well as those who came by to cheer on. The atmosphere was so friendly and joyous. A big thanks to Asics for supporting everyone and letting us try their trainers for the event! Congratulations to the two people who won brand new pairs of Asics trainers. May you tread successfully in them!
