GASING 

   ·       A gasing is a giant spinning top  

   ·       That weighs approximately 5kg 

   ·       Traditionally played before the rice harvest season, this game requires strength, co-ordination and skill.

   ·       The top is set spinning by unfurling a rope that has been wound around it.

   ·       Then it is scooped off the ground, whilst still spinning, using a wooden bat with a centre slit and transferred onto a low post with a metal receptacle.

·       If expertly hurled, it can spin for up to 2 hours..
