A great start to our Christmas schedule of events at the club! Our Christmas Casino & Cocktail night, which started as an idea conceived over Saturday afternoon tea at the club a few weeks ago, proved to be a very popular choice with members and guests who came. Proceedings started with a free welcome drink from the bar plus 40 casino chips for each person to play the four games on offer – roulette with Alan, black jack with Peter, “play your cards right” with Ashley and finally, Bez’s handmade wheel of fortune! After some early conservative betting, and fuelled by food and cocktails, a few risked higher stakes to try to come out on top when the deadline for betting grew near! First prize went to Phil who amassed in excess of 2000 chips from the starting point of just 40!! Second prize went to John and third prize to Dan Eldridge. A final prize game of “play your cards right” saw Peter win a play off against Caroline. Many thanks to everyone who came along and to those who helped with the event – a real team effort to make the evening the success it was. Special mention for Angela who brought the initial idea to life, organising the games, prizes, cocktails, as well as looking after the bar during the evening.
Christmas Casino & Cocktail night fun!
