RCC INTER-CLUB BONSPIELS: The Big Pumpkin: 1988
Welcome to the 7th annual Big Pumpkin, won by Ken Ignram's team from Ottawa. This is the first time we have any sort of detail about the Friday obstacle course, which apparently involved “bottle sitting,” “ping pong blowing,” “pie sucking,” and something called “pantyhose/potato.” It was won by Bright, but it should be noted that Shirley Van Cuyck pie-sucking with a time of two seconds.
