They are looking for people to take part in their gumboot throwing world record attempt, The Great Gumboot Toss.
No previous experience required. Just bring a gumboot.
Massey’s record is 478, which beat Lincoln’s mark of 348 people set in 2013.
LUSA vice president Tessa Williams said they are hoping for 500 people for the attempt on Tuesday, February 28 at 11am on the University sports fields.
“Everyone is welcome. We have it set up through Guinness World Records so it will be official. There will a chance to have a bit of practice around 10.30am and afterwards there will be the South Island Gumboot throwing championships, so if you find a bit of hidden talent you could have a go at that.
“Distance is not the issue for the record attempt. We all just get together and give it a hurl.”
