Our next meeting will be on Thursday, 16th December, at the Horse and Jockey pub in Stanford-in-the-Vale.
As this is our last meeting before Christmas
we will be meeting early from 6.45pm for pizzas and Christmas festivities.
This week, the “Feature Game” will be Santa’s Workshop followed by a range of Christmas and winter themed games like Christmas Tree, Snow Tails, Carcassonne: Winter Edition, Giftmas at Dungeon Abbey, Gingerbread House and Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries. We’ve been waiting over two years to play Santa’s Workshop as the game was caught up in the Australian bush fires late in 2019 and the global pandemic meant we were unable to play it last year. Third time lucky!

And speaking of Christmas…
Jeff wasn’t in a festive mood. He was in a lot of pain, so he went to see his doctor to get the problem looked at.
“What seems to be the problem?” Jeff’s GP asked.
Jeff looked a bit shifty and uncomfortable, and not just due to his ailment. “I’ve, er… got um…” he mumbled.
“Speak up, I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s the matter,” interrupted the doctor.
Jeff tried again, “I’ve, um…” but again his voice faded away to silence.
The doctor took pity on him and gently coaxed him on, “Is it something to do with an intimate area? You know there’s nothing to be ashamed of, we’re all the same really. Now what’s bothering you? You can tell me.”
Jeff took a deep breath “Doctor…” then he blurted out, “I seem to have a mince pie stuck up my bottom!”
“Oh, you’re in luck,” answered the Doctor, “I’ve got some cream for that!”
