The 7th Puzzle Assembly Marathon “MAUPa” was held in the conference room of the Municipal Cultural and Sports Centre in Bolesławiec, based in Kruszyn. Nine teams took part in the competition: Grupa Pościgowa, Może Być Problem, Wesoła Czwórka, Dream Team, Quatro Ragazze, FC Pokielichu, Four Sexy Boys, Czarne Diabły and Twinki.
This year, the organizers decided to try to break the Guinness World Record. The team that was the first to finish assembling the puzzle would be entered by GOKiS in the Book of Records. The marathon was started with a starting-pistol shot by Roman Jaworski, deputy head of the Bolesławiec Rural Commune.
The MAUPa participants had to assemble a puzzle depicting Oberhofen Castle in Switzerland. For the fourth consecutive time, Grupa Pościgowa proved to be the best (comprising: Agnieszka Kołodziej, Bożena Wieczorek, Karolina Wieczorek and Natalia Kołodziej). The champions took 4 hours and 34 minutes to assemble the 1,500-piece puzzle.
More than two hours later, the Twinki team finished assembling its puzzle. Its members were: Grażyna Skrzypacz, Agnieszka Konefał, Monika Sądaj and Teofila Kamińska. Third place went to Dream Team, whose members were: Brygida Laudani, Teresa Mularczyk, Weronika Pawlikowska and Edyta Pawlikowska.
The event was enhanced by artistic performances. Young dancers from Ocice, Kraszowice, Żeliszów, Nowa, Stare and Nowe Jaroszowice performed for the audience (under the supervision of Agnieszka Michalczuk).
The MAUPa sponsor was Trefl. The event’s media patron was the “Istotne Informacje” portal and newspaper.
