As the title duly suggests; combining ball sports & cycling. Hmmm it should appeal to the populace. :p

HCC touch football and BBQ An informal game of touch football and BBQ has been organised at Hawthorn’s homeland (The Mellow-drome). The idea is to have a small game followed by a few Beers and a BBQ to talk [censored] about bike related stuff. If you have not played Touch Football before, don’t worry. The rules are very simple and it is a non-contact sport.
Date: Sunday 12th November Time: 4:30pm (BBQ @ 6:00pm)

Touch "rugby" is actually a contact sport, but it's a non-tackle sport. The difference is sometimes blurry between contact (ie: touch) and tackle (ie: kill!). But yes, the rules are simple, it's rugby league without tackling.

So that answers a few fears, ie: no thumb up the bum in the scrum.

They should combine real football (aka soccer) and bikes. Would be heaps of fun.
Have played a version that used a go-kart tyre and was more of a brandy. Was great fun as foot was only method of projecting tyre. Ended when there was a blood nose due to tyre in face incident. Also a couple of pretty funny crashes on Bitumen. 😄

I did once witness a two a side soccer game played with Land Rovers (provided by the L/R factory). It was ... short. Surviving vehicles were winched apart & limped off the field. Ball was approx 2 metres tall.

In Arles (Southern France) they have two teams plus a full size bull in some matches. gives a new meaning to offside

"What's the HCC Velofest? It's and excuse for loose talk and foolish behaviour; It's the annual 2006 HCC awards day; It's a BBQ It's an afternoon of novelty races and events; It's a family outing; It's all of the above and more; But above all, it's NOT to be missed!
Where: The Hawthorn Mellowdrome (Melways Ref 59E3) When: 1pm, Sunday 26 November What to bring: Pretty much everything: something to incinerate, something to wash down your throat and something to put your bottom on (e.g. bike saddle or seat)....and a bike if you'd like to take part in the tomfoolery....which is:
Eggceptional bike handler: the 1/2 lap egg and spoon race Piece de resistance: roll 'race' (who can roll the furtherst after a 1/2 lap wind up) Courier Comp: longest track stand Super Domestique: how many bidons can you stuff down your jersey and still complete a lap? Big Foot: establish a new land-speed record through the radar trap on Stew's scooter"
