FUN AND GAMES
Now Although the Rabbit loves watching rowing and socialising at HRR, it must be said that there are plenty of other activities that one can partake of while at the Royal, which will only serve to enhance one's enjoyment of the experience, as well as filling those empty moments between heats and glasses of fizzy pop.
So to aid your entertainment while in Henley, the Rabbit suggests you try out some of the following games.
SECTION 1: GOOD CLEAN FUN
BLAZER BINGO
Clicking on the link below will produce a random bingo card featuring club blazers you may run into at the Royal, simply print off several bingo cards, distribute to your friends and get hunting.

Each time you see someone in a blazer, simply ask them which club it's from, and if the club is on your list, then cross it off... the first person to get a complete line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) shouts "Bingo!" and eveyone else playing has to buy them a drink!
(n.b. spotting a blazer isn't enough, you have to talk to the person wearing it to confirm that it is the one you think it is)
WHO ATE ALL THE PIES
Variations on a theme are:
SPOT THE WINNERS
TIGHT GIT GAME
I WOULDN'T BE SEEN DEAD IN THAT
HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAS SHE PUT ON!
THE 10 CURRY CHALLENGE
Firstly even the most hardened Thames curry club member is so smashed on one
(or more)of the days that they fail to make it to the curry house or, worse still fall asleep in their jalfrezi, thus failing for not eating.
Secondly since the curry houses are all in town, they get too smashed to walk
that far, so resort to lunch in Remenham or the seafood and champagne bar.
WHERE'S RABBIT?
SECTION 2: GOOD UNCLEAN FUN
Now while the rabbit would never, ever condone such behaviour, never mind participate in it (cough cough), there are certain factions present at the royal who take great delight in getting up to things they really shouldn't while in the enclosures.
It should be remembered that most of these are a lot easier to do on Saturday than Wednesday, as there's safety in numbers... so extra points if you can pull it off on Wednesday or Thursday...
X-RATED BLAZER BINGO
THE DECKCHAIR CHALLENGE
Record so far stands at two directors and two deck.
CROSS DRESSING
LAST MAN OUT
Can successfully be combined with.
LOST HOURS
ENCLOSURE BASEBALL
THE FULL THREE
Proof has to be done carefully, although Rabbit knows of proof that has occurred in virtually all public areas of the regatta.
If challenged and successful Rabbit suggests that a bottle of Champagne is (at the least) a suitable reward. Despite this, you wouldn’t catch a sweet bunny removing his fur.
(N.B Pre-qualification on depilation nullifies a legitimate challenge as Rabbit believes that it is quite fashionable nowadays in some circles)
