Sports Day postponed

Due to the dreadful weather forecast Sports Day has had to be postponed.  Everyone hopes that next week will provide the glorious sunshine that we've all been waiting for!

Celebrate Sports Day with personalised photo-gifts for kids from Photobox

In the meantime, it does allow for some extra practice for those parents with a competitive or sneaky disposition.  Here are a few tips to bear in mind .....

How to score in the parents' races!

• Remember it's the winning that matters, not the taking part. If your idea of exercise is a stroll from the car, any chance of doing a Chariots of Fire impersonation is all in your head and should be kept there.

• Tucking billowing skirts into pants is never a good look, even if Princess Diana did it.  Stripping off your suit to reveal a "just in case" shorts and vest combination is a bit scary, for all the wrong reasons. But just happening to be wearing your most comfortable shoes is fine.

• Don't be tempted to try a runner's start. You'll just look desperate - especially when you finish sixth.

• If you're over 40, you're going to pull a muscle unless you warm up beforehand. Surreptitious stretching is key; just don't let anyone realise when you're bending for your mobile you're actually trying to touch your toes.

• If you do pull a muscle, remember you won't get sympathy from your spouse.

• Jokingly grabbing the person next to you and hanging on for dear life is called cheating.

• Don't do an alpha-male bellow as you reach the finishing line. Mild-mannered mastery is so much more attractive.

• Don't casually mention your sporting prowess at school. That was a long time ago.
