2010 Chap Olympiad : eccentric throw back event with themed entertainment and challenges including umbrella jousting , hurling the cucumber sandwich , is taking place on Saturday 17th July 2010 . Running annually from 2005, The Chap Olympiad has become Britain’s most eccentric sporting event, attracting Londoners to this now famous celebration of athletic ineptitude and immaculate trouser creases. Hosted by The Chap Magazine (a monthly journal celebrating tweeds, hat doffing and Martinis) and Bourne and Hollingsworth (the fellows behind Blitz Party and Prohibition), The Chap Olympiad is an eye-catching spectacle, full of oddball elegance and quirky panache. All Olympiad guests and participants are encouraged to come in period dress and fully immerse themselves in the event’s old-fashioned activities and charming entertainment. Saturday 17th July 2010 from 12pm to 11pm Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, London, WC1
