What’s better than a sports day by the beach!

MeOgul Ent in The Ice Cube Melt Relay

Triple E Games was a Sports and Family Day held on Maracas Beach last Sunday. The event was planned to distract youths from negative influences and bring them together via healthy competition.

Hosted by The EEEmpire, it featured ten fun events including five-a-side football knockout competition, a balloon squat relay, a three-legged obstacle relay, tug of war, even a beer drinking race. All events included at least one female participant.

Tishanna Sankar who participated in the five- a- side football said, “Even in the football, they made it compulsory to have at least one girl in each team. Equal opportunity is what I always say, so this was very noteworthy as I got an opportunity to participate and have fun with everyone else.”

Many youngsters had much fun on the day, but the significance of the activities transcended fun on the beach.

One of the organisers of the Triple E Family, Armani Fernandes said: “The aim of this event was to bring together entertainment groups in the industry to show that we can have harmony amongst ourselves and do something other than party.”

He explained that too many times, event planners forget to have fun and this event provided the opportunity to do so.

A proud Fernandes added:  “We had the best ambience I have ever seen in a sports day. We all participated in these fun games to the back drop of coconut trees and the picturesque Maracas Bay in the background competing for our attention.”

The execution was not without hiccups, starting two hours late because of torrential rain showers and two teams never showed up. Still, judging from the responses of both patrons and organizers the event was a memorable experience.

An enthusiastic Stefan Guevara was quick to explain that the success of their event was not without assistance.

He thanked the sponsors Red Bull energy drink, SpEx Sports Equipment and the Ministry of Social Development. “I would always be grateful to them, Mr. Scoon for equipment, Minister Douglas for the prizes and Red Bull for the wings to tote all the equipment and prizes all over the beach!”

Triple E Games Changes Summer Forever

High sounding words yes, pompous maybe. But on Sunday 22nd the Triple E Family is set to produce the first of its kind, a truly out of foil type event.

 A sports day on the beach and Full 12 Hours of activities. As seemingly impossible feat, this event is tipped to raise the bar on committee events in Trinidad. The entire Sports Day is build around an elaborate point system. Before the beginning of proceedings each team will receive a list of activities and relevant points. Officials hosting each game will be positioned at different points on the Maracas Bay coast. Teams will walk to each activity and compete against each other and the clock, as the more activities completed the points a team can accumulate.

Risse Bhola will be hosting the Raindrops Relay

Limits will be placed on entering games repeatedly so that all have a fair chance at holding the trophy. Each game allows for participation of four or more people and involves some thinking, not only physical strength. Interestingly, many of the games have never been played before and have been specifically developed for this day of fun.

Adding to the excitement, as soon as night time hits, their will be no gloomy faces waiting on transport, or dodging bottles by uncle sam. All patrons will be wisked away to Nanan's beach resort and enjoy more activities in "Drinking Games" the after party hosted by The EEEmpire and Meogul Entertainment. The night stops only when you stop. The bar is un-busable according to staff.

How to play:
Put a bunch of pin holes in the plastic baggie. The group lines up sitting down, one in front of the other ~ so they are facing the back of the person in front of them. The bucket filled with water goes behind the last person, the empty bucket goes in front of the first person. This bucket should be marked at the halfway point. The baggie is given to the first person. When the race starts, the first person takes the baggie to the back bucket, fills it with water and then trys to get the water to the front bucket, but she has to carry it over the heads of her team. She dumps what water is left in her baggie into the front bucket. The line shifts up and she sits in the back. She then passes the baggie to the front person, and that person repeats the process. The winner is whatever group fills their front bucket to the halfway point first.
