Monday Club
Monday Club met at The Pavillon at Dunchurch Hall on Monday 13th May hosted by Christine Kirkwood. Since Christine was unable to organise a speaker from the NSPCC, as she had hoped, plan B was a Beetle Drive. This involves tables of four people with pencil and paper with the image of a Beetle on it. Each body part has a different value and we had to throw a dice to the correct value to complete the beetle. The person with the highest score moved on a table and so we managed to play with almost everyone by the end. Jeff Arnold was the winner. A fun and sociable activity for a wet day !
We followed with tea and lovely cakes and a raffle, the takings from which were given to the NSPCC.
Many thanks to Christine for her hospitality.
The next meeting is Monday 24th June, for a visit to Kenilworth to see a garden which is in the Open Gardens Scheme with more great tea and cake !
