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 <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVSqYiKkJWjvvuDvwdWOOhIBnj5NtBcgcszrZh7kKOsMX-9A/viewform?usp=sf_link>* (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, Marshall [log in to unmask] Rough practice schedule (subject to some changes; we blitz out to the DOC-Woodsmen listserv before every practice): Tuesdays, 4-6 Thursdays, 9:30-12 Fridays, 3-6 Saturdays, 10-12:30 Events: 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
