Current Harpley Hunt notice by oingy-boingy is here:

The Harpley Hunt - St George's Day Meet 2Announcing the fourth Harpley Hunt audience-participation art event!
It's not quite HARPG, as there's no competitive element - no need to outdo eachother or worry you're not good enough to compete, it's more just a bit of fun to give everyone a chance to take part and draw a little something to contribute to the day's sport together.

For references I used various bendy art models to help me get the angles and points of view somewhat more correct than depending on my memory alone.  All sketches were freehand. These models are:
