Ladies Bowl 'em Over

It really was a ladies night on Monday when Marie beat off the opposition in the play-off with a score of 8. She is the 2007 skittles champion and has a trophy to prove it. Mary Rees carried off the wooden spoon.

Well done ladies, it was an enjoyable evening with good food and company to match. Well done Roy, another Club Service triumph.

Don't forget to book your places for the annual Christmas Dinner at the Hannafore Point Hotel on 17th December. We are offering a three-course festive meal followed by entertainment at £15 per person.

Australian TV Cancels Quiz Show

‘Rising Inflections’, the latest big-money television show on Australia’s Channel 9 has been cancelled with immediate effect, because viewers, contestants and even the quizmaster had no idea when a question was being asked.

Things went badly during the filming of the first episode, during which one contestant’s statement: ‘Hi, my name’s Jennifer??’ was immediately followed by a flurry of buzzers from the other competitors who had assumed that the ‘fastest finger’ round had started.

Quiz host Jimmy Lathom’s question to one of the competitors, ‘So you wanna double your money?’ was followed by 17 seconds of silence, as no-one realised that Jimmy was in fact waiting for a response.

The final straw came during the quick-fire round when the rapid succession of answers that sounded like questions resulted in both teams of competitors getting confused about who was actually in charge, and responding to each others questions, leaving Jimmy Lathom to stare incredulously at the camera.
Mr Lathom said, ‘The quiz show never seems to do well here in Australia? When I hosted ‘Blankety Blank’ three years ago, I started the programme with a little chat with one of the contestants and we talked about the usual things such as who she was, where she came from, her family and her career. When we got ready to start the quiz proper, she complained that she had zero points and said she had got every question right so far.’

Am I wasting my time?

Is Roy the only person to read the blog? He's certainly the only one who makes comments! Make my day, everyone tell me how much they enjoy my little effort. It would be interesting to know how many read this message.

I have been informed by Immediate Past President Brian that he has been asked to continue with his excellent club bulletin. Consequently this blog will be confined to informing members of changes to the calendar, reminders about forthcoming events and generally trying to improve communications within the club. Lack of information will also be reported - be warned!
