Sunday 27th July club players will play the first part of the Yard Stick competition. Why not pop along to watch! Entries taken up until 6pm Saturday 26th July. The second part of this competition is on Sunday 10th August.
Club Presidents, Sylvia Lupton and Bob Brown, were pleased to present a cheque for £300 to BARB, which was raised from the Club’s Charity Open Day at the end of May.
Was Hitler a vegetarian?’ Half the 42 players at our first social of the season thought so, but they were wrong.
Dressed in black and white the teams engaged in tasks, cheese tasting, identifying flowers, objects of interest and the ever-popular grocer’s feely bag that also became a centre of great laughter and inuendo. Never has a large courgette in a pillowcase caused so much fun.
Terry and Rob fuelled the players with a good night at the bar. Rita supported by Brenda and Alfie provided a superb Ploughman’s Supper of complexity and taste.
The prize awarded for best dressed black and white contestant went to Trudi. The prize for best imaginary pop group name was given to Dot, Anne, Marion and Elaine known as the ‘Dames’. They were also the night’s runners up being beaten by The Swinging Sisters. Their first prize was a banana themed bag!
A splendid raffle including brandy, champagne, marmalade and Marmite concluded the evening.
The quiz night bought together new and old players and social members for the benefit of the club. These events take time and effort to get off the ground and make for a great atmosphere. The next event in August will be a pairs Tiddlywinks Tournament, flipping’ heck.
