Bunco Evening




Bunco Evening on Wednesday was a rousing success! Unfortunately we had to compete with the ManU/Chelsea Football game, so attendance was on the low side, but those who did attend had a great time! Betty and Len walked out with prizes for winner and loser for the evening (one family with both ends of the spectrum). There was a lot of laughs and cheers during the evening. We have decided to postpone the next Bunco night until September as many people are travelling during the summer months. So we will see you all in September!!!!!

Coffee Morning


We had a great coffee morning this morning with quite a few members attending. We even had two new faces in the crowd....welcome! Those of you who couldn't make it; we missed you and hope to see you at the next coffee morning.

We held a raffle which will actually take place next month. We sold 5 tickets for 1GBP and more will be available at the next coffee morning when we will actually draw for the raffle.

There are Newcomers pens and recipe books on sale, so contact one of us to purchase them!

Those of you coming to bunco tonight, see you then. Those of you who are not, we hope to see you very soon!

The Interpretation of Murder - Book Club

by Jed Rubenfeld was discussed last night at the book club. Most everyone enjoyed the book and thought the author did a great job keeping us interested in several different but intertwining stories throughout the novel. Conversation was enlightening and grew ever more so as the evening wore on. Several bottles of wine and lots of delicious food was also consumed!

Next month we will be reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. So get reading and come and join us. Contact the blog e-mail for more information. Hope to see you there!

Pot Luck Lunch - Al Fresco

Several of us gathered together last Friday for a Pot Luck lunch. Our hostess was amazing and made a fantastic apple tarte tartin, which was out of this world. We braved the slightly chilly temperatures and sat outside until the lack of sun and a slight wind forced us indoors. The food from all was wonderful and the conversation even better. Let's hope the next pot luck lunch has us greeting even better weather.
