After much discussion, in August, we moved our meeting to Thursdays. However, the Horse and Jockey have recently brought back their quiz on the first Thursday of the month, so this week we will be meeting on WEDNESDAY 6th October 2021. As usual, we will start playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer (table is booked from 6.30pm for those who would like to eat first).
Some of the group are also keen to do the Quiz on Thursday 7th October. So, we have booked a table from 6.30pm for those who would like food, and we’ll be playing games until the quiz starts at 9pm.
Last weekend was our nineth birthday, so as is now traditional, the “Feature Game” on Wednesday will 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 has arrived and finished food.

And speaking of birthdays…
It was Joe’s birthday, and his mum wanted to do something special. She called him on the phone, but his housemate, Jeff, answered. When Joe’s mum said she wanted to bring round a cake, Jeff was very excited.
“Oh, Mrs. Wilson,” Jeff said, “What a lovely idea – that would be great!”
That afternoon, Joe’s mum drove to the house and rang the doorbell. Jeff answered the door, but when he saw the cake, his face fell.
“Oh,” he said, clearly very disappointed. “I thought you said ‘keg’.”
