Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome to the first #NipClub weekend pawty of 2016! 

As it's January we're heading for some snowy mountains and the annual Anipal Winter Games. As well as skiing there will be snowboarding, skating and various other sports currently being devised by @Doggymolly and @lucky_GSD for your entertainment, as well of course as the very best in noms and drinks from Nip Chef @WinstonTabby and great company from anipals around the world.

The Games will start at 2pm EST (7pm in the UK) on Saturday January 9 and will go on for 24 hours (or till all judges and contestants are exhausted!), and all anipals and their humans are welcome. 

As #CatmasEve and New Year's Eve fell on a Thursday this year our December charity Black Cat Rescue unfortunately missed out on a couple of events which would otherwise have been supporting them, so to make up for that they will continue to be our featured charity this month. 

The hashtag will be #NC24H (standing for NipClub 24 Hours) and our charity link will be https://www.youcaring.com/black-cat-rescue-484067



ENTERTAINMENT



If downhill skiing wasn’t challenging enough for you, take a determined group of nipclubbers, aim their skis downhill and watch the mayhem begin. Epic jumps, chills and spills can all be expected. Downhill ski cross….racing mixed with a lot of Nipclub attitude.


Not sure what a normal downhill ski cross looks like? check out this video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PWS-KadGak

Date: Saturday January 9 Time: 5:00pm EST Host: @DoggyMolly



Not the outdoors adventure type? No problem, we have the game for you. Put your puzzle solving skills to the test as you will be given a clue and have to determine the word or phrase. First to answer correctly gets a point. The anipal that gets the most correct wins the game.

Time to get a little crazy Voyageur style! You have a canoe and need to get to the other side of the St. Lawrence River. Unfortunately the river is still partially frozen. It is up to you to push pull and paddle your way across the river.


Be “creative” and have fun. First canoe to reach the other side wins the race.

Alright Anipals! It is time for the slush cup! What in the world is the slush cup you may ask? 

Take 1 mountain full of snow. Put a ski jump at the bottom of the hill and beyond that ski jump a 120 ft long pool of water

Will you sink or swim or glide to the finish line?   

What do you have to do?

Find a way down the mountain 1 or 2 at a time. (You can use skis, a snowboard, tube or toboggan). You can dress up or dress down the choice is yours. Slide or ski down the hill towards the jump. Will you hit big air or make a big splash?

Date: Saturday January 9 Time: 8:00pm EST Host: @Lucky_GSD



The winter olympics have provided us with many great sporting memories. We are going to mention a historic or infamous olympic moment and your job is to name the olympic host city. The 1 that answers the most questions correctly will win. For example... In what city did the USA beat Russia to win the Olympic Ice Hockey gold medal in 1980? or it could be phrased as The USA beating Russia in the gold medal final on the 1980 winter olympics is known as what?

Date: Sunday January 10 Time: 9:00am EST Host: @3phibotticelli




What is more fun than Short Track Speed Skating? Nipclub pals trying their paw / wing at short track speed skating. Strap on your skates and helmet, go around the course as quickly as possible while at the same time trying to hinder (read sabotage) your competitors. Be the first to cross the finish line and be crowned King and or Queen of the short track.
