Our Games Group continues to give pleasure to members who enjoy playing board games. Our July gamers met on the upper floor of Lucy's house, where we continued to meet during August. Games played during July were Pointless, Word, Bananagrams, Triominoes, Sequence and more, with the tea/coffee social get-together held at the end of every meeting.
Fewer members attended the two meetings in August due to holidays and illness. However, this enabled all the members attending to play a game of Mexican Dominoes together at the same table with much hilarity. Both meetings finished with cakes to celebrate birthdays and more cakes and a whopping fruit crumble, all supplied kindly by members.
On Dec 14th, Game On, Crime Fiction, and Scrabble Groups, all combined for an Upstairs, Downstairs Xmas Party. Members arrived around 11.30am bearing plates ofdelicious food and were served Mulled Apple Juice bought from Cotehele House (non-alcoholic at themembers’ request). The food and drinks were all arranged on the upper floor of Lucy's house.
Around 2pm, when members declared they could eat and drink no more they made their way to the
ground floor for an afternoon of fun. We started with a Xmas pass the parcel, complete with Xmas Carol
and Nursery rhyme forfeits, to make sure everyone was in a Xmas mood. Then Phil treated us to a 20
questions Xmas themed Quiz. He followed this with an excellent reading from a book from the Crime
Reading Group. Murder of Course!!
Other games followed including ‘guess the number of items in 4 jars, a memory test and who could get
the most ping pong balls into a large pot. Winners were invited to take their prizes from a lucky dip box.
The afternoon was broken into two parts. At 3pm a toast was proposed for a Happy Xmas and this was
served with a Xmas Cake from Cyndy and mince pies from Phil.
Lucy was presented with a generous Tesco's voucher from all the members. This surprised her but, lost
for words, she thanked them for their generosity and for all their help to make the party a success.
Members made their way home around 5pm as it was beginning to get dark
Our Games Group meets every other Sunday at Lucy's House. At present, due to limitations on space, numbers are limited to the first twelve members that contact us by phone or email if wanting to attend the next meeting.
This is a social afternoon where we play a variety of board and card games which are chosen on the day from a selection that members bring in. We round off the afternoon with tea and cakes also brought in by different members.
Unsurprisingly, both of our Games Meetings in July almost ended up as an afternoon tea party, complete with a delicious selection of party cakes. Many thanks from Lucy.
