..Team 3! …aka Gaye, John, Carrie-Anne, Ann, Robert, Jean, Jackie & Graham….
Now, what was the secret of Team 3’s success? Who was their secret weapon?
Was it John, the overall points winner? OR was it Ann who just happened to be o the winning team last year????? OR was it down to alcohol (or not), laughter & ‘having a go’???
Anyway, they all had fun, as did everyone else!
It was a lovely summer evening for our annual Skittles meet at The Shoulder of Mutton public house n Hamstall Ridware. The good weather held – as did the light – & the atmosphere was friendly. Knocked them all down? Then you were greeted with a cheer & a clap, no matter which team you were playing for!
But competition was fierce, make no mistake, with only a few points in it all told!
Thanks to The Shoulder of Mutton team for a fabulous Buffet & for hosting us all in the Beer Garden.
Thanks also to Alan & Karen for organising the teams, prizes, medals & winners cup & especially to Alan for keeping score – although he did knock off a number of points from Team 3 at one point … only to remedy his mistake by another announcement a few minutes later…. That’s what comes of being a retired maths teacher (to paraphrase Karen)!
Thanks also to Bob & Kent, ably assisted by Kath & Graham, for the putting up of all those skittles… & finding those that made their way into the hedge whilst also diving fro
m the ‘bouncing bombs’….! Thanks also to Chris Ewing, our ever-helpful ‘ball boy’!
And the proud winner of the wooden spoon? Well that was Meryl!
A great evening – full of fun & friendship!
