Month;ly Meeting 18th Decemebr Plus Mega hamper Draw

[Rubber_Man]

After having over 100 members attending our TWO Christmas lunches, the last monthly meeting at Garstang Golf Club will be on Wednesday 18th December, starting at 20.00.

As is customary at this meeting Judy has put together a quiz, which even Google will be unable to help you answer this time.

We will also on the night be drawing our Mega Hamper Raffle. Sue & Mac have again put together 10 fabulous hampers filled with a variety of exotic food and drink. The main hamper actually has over £70 of goods filling it. As some of the items may have a short shelf life we have delayed the draw until the latest time before Christmas. There will also be the opportunity to buy raffle tickets. Funds raised from this go towards running Porkers in the Trough and other regional events.

I am, along with Sue & Mac McLeod and Mike Trotter, working on our 2014 events calendar. There will be some new events running and I am just firming up dates and venues. If you would like to organise an event please get in touch with me and we can see when it can added to the calendar

There will also be more drives & lunches, as well as weekends away in Portmeirion and Carlisle, which you will have read about in Porsche Post.

The last meeting of 2013 will of course be the informal lunch at Dahlia's Kitchen near Blackpool on 29th December. Children welcome

If you would like to come along to this please contact myself, or Tony Bolton on 01253 771669


Seasons greetings to those who I don' t see on the 18th or 29th

Regards

We think David has missed a one off the value of the main hamper. There are six bottles of wine included, which do not fit in the main basket (which is already so heavy it can't be lifted by one person) and so the value is more likely to be between £170-£200.

The second prize hamper is probably worth £70 on it's own................and don't forget there are another nine prizes after that, one of which is a bottle of Scotch, a crystal decanter, two crystal whisky glasses with liqueurs and savouries all provided by members of our brilliant Region to help support Porkers in the Trough and other events.

Tickets will be available at the Club meeting.

Blimey David.......how will you cope with out google this time....? []

 

[Rubber_Man]

More importantly will you be bringing No 1 daughter (and possibly I have heard, the brains in the family) along to help your team out yet again?

Plenty of time for Team Mangetout to swot up an a variety of topics before Wednesday

I'm not bothered personally as long as there's a song question.[]

Where do you find the time to trawl the media for these illicit quiz aids,Rob--in any case ,I might sing in a different key[]

 

[rob.kellock]

Colin, you are always posting on here in a different key []

 

[964RS]

Xmas party game - rearrange the letters of the title into a common or well known phrase. []

 

[Fred Hindle]

I wouldn't stop at 'a different key' Colin, most people who have heard your dulcet tones in the past would probably ask that you sang in a different room using the key to lock the door, room preferably padded so you can't hurt yourself.

Cheers,

 

[vitesse]

I guess my post struck a chord with you Fred-Merry Xmas & Happy New Year,since you weren't at last nights meeting and don't get legless over the holiday.[]

 

[Fred Hindle]

Hello Colin,
Hate to have to admit it as I'm bound to be ribbed for it but yesterday (Wednesday) I thought it was Tuesday. (One of the joys of being retired!) I got heavily involved sorting out Bluetooth on laptops and checking bluetooth GPS units were working I didn't even go out of the house all day. Certainly didn't mean to miss your renditions, (ear plugs at the ready). I'll see a few people at Dahlias between Christmas and New Year. Seasons Greetings to all in R18 and elsewhere.

Cheers,

Team Mangetout's pursuit of excellence continued last night I see......

managed to win the 'you cant google to win this quiz' quiz by a mile. Thanks must be given the talented Mr. Jamie (art school) Wilson for his lion king sculpture.

managed to win 3 prizes in the raffle too...well done lana ! []

Us?.....gloat??....damn right! []

 

[Fred Hindle]

Thought you would be too busy signing autographs to take part in the quiz!

Do I take it the Conboys will have food on the table this Christmas or will Lana be a little 'pie eyed'?

Cheers,

What Jeremy forgot to mention was that Lana (on their table no less) was drawing all the tickets in the draw-1st & best prize went to Lord Kellock of Well Heeled over Longton House-this required his servant ,mentor & chauffeur, Sir Dean of Antiques Unlimited to carry out to Sir Dean's automobile for the journey home with Ebeneezer Zeb of much Binding in the Brakes & Wornout Tyres Google House (I believe situate in the Yorkshire tainted better part of Lytham) with another substantial Xmas Paper wrapped box of goodies (Fortunately such person was in his van) & finally the young lady Conboy,Lana by name carried off a third such decorated box.

There was no general dissent from the assembled throng but Jeremy did seem to have more than his usual "guilt ridden" look about him-however it could have been down to all those chocolates he snaffled from the large box which seemed to stick to the tablecloth on their table.[][]

Sorry but the Edit feature doesn't seem to work-but it should be "there" not "their"

What can I say.

The main basket cannot indeed be lifted by one normal person, you need the strength of Dean!! The hamper is so big that I cannot even fit a picture of it on here as the image is too large to download off my phone. I shall try again on the wifi when I get home.

Massive thanks to Sue and Mac and to everyone in R18 who participated in the raffle.

As for Team Mangetout - we won the quiz, we won the modelling competition, we won the hamper, we got bonus points for singing and bonus points for speling. Lana Conboy is now our official head of Public Relations and Hassan can be head of donuts. []

R18 is the best Region in PCGB! Roll on 2014. []

 

[rob.kellock]

The before...

The after...

The Lion King...

 

[Fred Hindle]

Well done Rob,

Just in time by the look of it as you were nearly out of Diet Coke!

Jamie's Lion King is very 'arty-farty' (or is that just Jamie!)

Cheers,

 

[rob.kellock]

Cheers.

Jamie does the arty.

Jeremy does the f...... []
