In the words of the song ‘Oh What a Night’, we certainly had one on Friday July the 19th in the clubhouse. Over sixty members attended dressed appropriately in colourful attire to add a sense of celebration to the first social event for some time in the clubhouse on a hot summer night.
The fear of intellectual challenge on quiz night was quickly dispelled as teams named with a ‘plant’ theme, wrestled with true or false statements, ingredients for recipes and a tough round of matching numbers, names and questions all in the great rush to gain terrible mystery prizes including an uncooked baked potato!!!!
Undeterred by challenge, teams were called up to a fantastic dinner of baked potato, chilli and loads of extras to enhance the dishes all under the supervision of Rita Dibble (Michelin star applied for) with Alfie and Brenda supporting whilst Trudi and Dave kept score, and Vince our resident Bouncer manned the door.
As usual Terry, Rob and Dennis looked after all behind the bar and quizzed terribly.
After dinner the fun really began as teams moved around the room having to guess shoe sizes, identify liquids by smell, colour charts and feely bags containing fruits and confectionery and if that wasn’t enough they had to taste crisps and identify the flavours.
There was a successful raffle with the first prize option of a bottle of Grants Whisky or a second hand 500-piece jigsaw was won by Bob N. we still have the jigsaw if anyone would like to buy it?
Come the end of the night you wouldn’t know anything had happened as the team cleaned up, put away and cleaned down. As the competitors left, positive feedback was given, and everyone is looking forward to the next event.
Please keep an eye on the updated Social Noticeboard as the next event, ‘The Tiddly Winks Challenge Night’ will be ticket only with dreadful prizes but great food.
We think a Saturday night would be a good idea as TV is usually ‘rubbish’.
What do you think? How about a Bingo Night, Beetle Drive or Games night?

On behalf of the club we would like to Thank Mike who was our wonderful host for the evening and his great team. There was clearly a lot of thought, planning, preparations, organising and effort to produce such a fun filled night.
