Quoits (pronounced k-waits) is a traditional lawn game which involves throwing a metal or rubber ring
over a set distance to land over a pin in the centre of a patch of clay.
The quoit itself is a circular disc with a four inch hole in the centre traditionally made of steel
The quoit can weigh anything up to 10lbs, approximately 5lbs is more common
The quoit is thrown over the "hob" - a pin set in a clay pitch
The clay helps the quoit to stick in place once it has landed
The rules may vary from region to region
In the Welsh version the player is able to make two attempts at hitting the central hob
In the North of England, a quoit which lands on the hob is called a "ringer" and scores two points
The first player to reach 21 wins the game
Players also try to land their quoits in ways to block further attempts by other competitors
