What is Turkish oil wrestling
This is one of the most popular sports in Turkey. Yagli gures means literally oiled wrestling. The wrestlers wear tight short leather trousers called "Kispet", made of water buffalo leather weighing approximately 13 kilograms, and they cover themselves with olive oil. Matches take place throughout the country but the most famous and most important tournament takes place in the northwest of Turkey by the end of June and beginning of July.
It's a big fair as well with music and celebrations and it goes on until the morning.In the entertainments, belly dancing is accompanied by Turkish traditional musical instruments 'davul' (drum) and 'zurna' (a type of flute) and singings.
In Olympic wrestling, holding from the wrestling suit is regarded as a foul. In oil wrestling, most games are made on the kispet.The wrestlers try to put their hands go through the kispet of their opponents as much as possible. To a kispet tied well, it is not possible to put a hand or arm through. The pehlivan that can achieve putting his hand through his opponent's kispet, can control him this way and hold from the lower end of his pants, 'paca', and this way can beat his opponent with the game called 'paca kazik'. A younger wrestler defeating an older wrestler would kiss the older wrestler's hand.
Originally, matches had no set duration and could go on for one or two days, until one man was able to establish superiority, but in 1975 the duration was capped at 40 minutes for the baspehlivan and 30 minutes for the pehlivan category. If no winner is determined, another 15 minutes—10 minutes for the pehlivan category—of wrestling ensues, wherein scores are kept to determine the victor.

What is Squareball?
Squareball consists of three teams of four.
The court consists of four 1-metre circles - each 5 metres apart - forming a square.
The game starts with Team A occupying the circles. They have a ball and they pass the ball around the square. Each circuit scores one point. Teams B and C roam freely and they try to intercept the ball. If they can do this, the ball is returned to the start of the square.
Each period lasts three minutes and then the teams change position. Each team has two innings - two attempts at passing the ball around the square - so a complete game lasts eighteen minutes.
The game is popular in the west country of England.

GIMNAZJALNO-LICEALNY ZESPÓŁ SZKÓŁ W WOŁCZYNIE.
Here's some information about me and my school. As you already know my name is Justyna Broniszewska an I am an English teacher. Our school is in a small town called Wołczyn, it's in the south-west of Poland. It is a grammar school and secondary school but I am going to work on this poject with the older students, they are 15-18 years old.
The name of our school is GIMNAZJALNO-LICEALNY ZESPÓŁ SZKÓŁ W WOŁCZYNIE. The address of our website is www.glzs.wolczyn.pl
My friend Anna Skrzypczyk-Miś is also going to work with me on this project. She's an English teacher too. If it's possible we will come to Baia Mare together. The problem is that our National Agency doesn't have any more money for preparatory visits so we are trying to get the money from our headmaster and local authorities. They like the project very much so I hope they will be able to sponsor our visit.
Greetings
Justyna
