The Blyth Bullets midget
broomball team decided to cel-
ebrate the end of their season
with a bubble challenge. The
event took place on March 4 in
the gymnasium of Central
Huron Secondary School.
Jacqui Empson, the mother
of one of the players, found
the bubbles online. This is the
second year that the team has
done this. Empson explains
that it is a fun end -of -year
activity that everyone can do.
She revealed that some of the
parents had also been in the
bubbles. She smiled and
related, "It is a lot of laughs.
The are having fun crashing
into each other."
The bubbles were rented
from IBump.ca out of London,
Ontario. Owner Carrie Bar-
toch explained, "The bubbles
are fun for all ages with a 50
pound minimum. Some of the
little ones curl up 111 it." Often
those who rent them play soc-
cer inside the bubbles. They
are often contacted to come to
work events. At events like the
one at CHSS, the parents usu-
allybecome involved. Bartoch
stated that they were kept
fairly busy as, "They are really
affordable for big events:'
The members of the Blyth
Bullets are from the Clinton/
Blyth/Londesborough area.
One of the players, Cameron
Wilts, commented that being
inside the bubbles is hot and
tight. This is mainly the case
for the larger participants.
With frequent breaks to trade
the bubbles to others, it is a
quite enjoyable activity. There
is no minimum amount of
time to wear the bubbles in a
casual party.
While taking a break, it was
obvious that the onlookers
were enjoying the activity as
well. Many were goading the
players to challenge each
other. When tumbles hap-
pened, or wearers chose to
just take a dive just to see how
they would bounce, there
were many expressions of
interest and appreciation
mixed in with the usual con-
cerned noises heard at any
physical contact activity.
Those who were asked indi-
cated that this is definitely an
activity that others should try.
The universal statement was,
"It's fun!"
