a great carnival with a real country atmosphere.

is great (typical tablelands hospitality,
it’s the best) and everyone has a great
day.
The day runs by a set programme for each individual
age group, 5 events each. Points are calculated
according to place and times for each athlete’s
performance. Points are tallied and trophies
