A very enjoyable evening for members and friends was held in the clubhouse on Saturday 28th October.
Five teams of 4 pitted their skills against each other on a variety of games (8 in all) including Darts, Golf, Bar Billiards, Bagatelle, Shove Halfpenney, Hoops; as often happens it is not the most practiced players that come through victorious. Bar Billiards, noted for trying to avoid the mushrooms, caused a few upsets and scoring well at the ring board proved to be a challenge. There was “no love lost” when it came to nudging the opposition’s golf ball sitting on plus 5 on to the square scoring minus 5! – don’t know what you mean!!!!!!!
There were many highlights during the course of the evening, one being the tasty and elaborate “ploughman’s” supper provided by our esteemed Secretary, Toby, which was consumed with relish by those participating!
When it comes to playing a friendly game of darts and your team has played the joker to double their points, it becomes a little serious and frustrating when (unable to achieve the exact score to finish after several minutes by either tea) the Games Master steps in and states that ‘nearest the bull’ will decide. The inevitable happened – the non-darts player scored a bull’s eye!!
Many moments of hilarity made the evening entertaining and good fun and a good time was had by all.
As usual some kitchen elves suddenly appeared to help with the clearing up for which the organisers were very grateful.
