The Stroud Brick and Rolling Pin Throwing Competition is an annual event that started in 1960 (Stroud UK and USA), with Australia and Canada joining in in 1961, and in 1962 Australia suggested including a women’s rolling pin contest.

My great grandmother, Lavinia Murray, was one of a the organisers for the inaugural NSW competition, and is pictured here at the first contest.

Traditionally, males throw a brick (weighing in at around five pounds) and women get to fling a rolling pin (weighing two pounds) with kids hurling rubber hens.

This year's theme was "Looking Back. Moving Forward", and I joined in the sport to celebrate my amazing Nana Lavinia, who was also a poet and the first female councillor for the region.
