Hey Folks!

If you've ever wanted to try out woodsmens, now is a really great time to
do it! At the end of this term (*June 5th*, the finals make-up day), the
Dartmouth Woodsmens Team is going to be hosting a casual *MiniMeet*. To
make things more fun, the teams for this competition will be J&J pairs (see
below) *and one member has to be new* to woodsmens when they sign up!*
That means *once you sign up you have the rest of term to learn the 5
events with your partner at our practices*.

The winning pair will receive a pair of *Granfors Brüks* *hatchets*, and
we'll have a cookout after the competition finishes!

If you want to come to a practice and see if you like it, we have* beginner
friendly practices* this *Thursday 9:30-12*, *Friday 3:30-6*, and *Saturday
10-12:30*.

*SIGN UP HERE

(Signups close this Saturday Night)
Also, if you want to compete, but don't have a partner, blitz me and we can
find you someone to compete with.

I've put a list of events, team making rules, and a rough practice schedule
below.

FTD,

DOC-Woodsmen listserv before every practice):

   3. Splitting - Barrel split, 1 piece each

Team-making rules:

   1. J&J pairs. That means 2 competitors, 2 genders.
   2. At least one of the competitors must be "new" to woodsmens. They
   can't have ever come to a meet before or more than 3 practices before
   signing up
   - The new member also must have at least one more year at Dartmouth
      (graduating seniors should find a partner from a younger class!)
      - Once you're signed up, practice away! you have the rest of term to
      learn your events.
      - Both competitors can be new if you want. All practices are
      beginner-friendly, and leaders will be around to teach all the events at
      practices
