June Quiz Night
I'm happy to report that the June Quiz Night, held on Friday 19th, was an outstanding success!
Sadly, our original quizmaster, Brian Ham, had to step down due to personal reasons but we were fortunate that Alan Lowndes was able and willing to stand in for him.
The questions were suitably varied in difficulty and Alan delivered them with clarity and humour. There was the usual picture round, which this time was 'Name the Logo' as well as a 'First Line' round which had us all humming to ourselves while we tried to work out titles and artists.
The Quiz was well attended by around 60 members and friends, and, including the raffle, we raised a healthy and welcome £412.52 for club funds.
After a close contest, the Quiz was eventually won by 'The Smart Alecs' - living up to their name!
May Coffee Morning
We were delighted that the May coffee morning was able to go ahead as scheduled on 29th May despite the ongoing lack of electricity. The lack of hot water in the club house was overcome, as per last month, with a supply of boiling water via the urn set up in the tennis club hut (our thanks to the Tennis club folk for permission to use it) and a couple of very large flasks!
The morning was well attended, with plenty of savouries and cakes to enjoy, and we raised a healthy sum of £176 to go towards our club funds.
Our thanks to all those who supplied cakes etc, the baristas for the morning, our doorman, and to all the others who are involved behind the scenes.
Lifetime Membership Award
At our recent 'Season Opener' event, the management committee were delighted to award Eileen Boddington with a lifetime membership of the club for her tireless services in fundraising and organising events. She was presented with a framed certificate, and a bouquet of flowers.
