I don’t think I other members and guests had so much fun for a fiver until last night.
New and established members plus guest of the club gathered for our second social night this season to play a Beetle Drive. The dress code of something that sparkles and was enthusiastically taken up with jewels, tops and accessories.
The game consists of shaking dice to get a score that matches the parts of a beetle and so one draws until a beetle is completed and the game stops. Highest and lowest score from a table of four move in opposite directions so that every game brings new players together.
The ensuing mayhem is a rattle of dice cups, furiously being shaken, thrown and passed on, accompanied by whoops and cheers as speed is of the essence and beetle parts are drawn. The game consists of 8 rounds with the highest total score winning at the end so congratulations to Marion Strong.
Half time was enhanced with oven fresh pizzas and a selection of filled rolls with interesting description flags as you can see in the photos, a free raffle and just time to grab a drink from Rob who manned the bar.
The event was also as sustainable as possible with 95% of materials used being recycled.
A huge thanks to Jim as doorman, bouncer and photographer for the night. Rob and his bow tie behind the bar. Rita and Brenda were marvellous in helping me to cater and clear up.
Finally to Terry who devised, organised, explained and ran the night in his usual quiet and reserved manner!!!!
