Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 3rd October, at the Horse and Jockey pub in Stanford-in-the-Vale. As usual, we will be playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer.
To celebrate our fifth birthday this week, the “Feature Game” will once again be Crappy Birthday. This is a silly little filler/party game that we can mess about with while people are eating cake, allowing us to play something longer once everyone is done. Family games like this are not usually our sort of thing, but we played it last year to celebrate our fourth birthday and had a ball, so we thought we’d keep the second deck of cards for this year…

And speaking of birthdays…
It was Jeff’s birthday and, as it was a special birthday, his brother had bought him a special present. Before opening the gift, Jeff shook it slightly, and noticed that it was wet in the corner. Touching his finger to the wet spot and tasting it, he asked, “Is it a bottle of wine?”
His brother shook his head, “No…” So, again, Jeff touched his finger to the box and tasted the liquid.
“A bottle of scotch then?” he asked, beginning to get all excited – this was way better than he’d expected. Again his brother shook his head though, “No, not a bottle of scotch…”
Eventually, Jeff said, “OK, I give in, what is it?”
His brother paused for effect, before answering, “A puppy!”
