As I sit here typing with the sun streaming through the window in our little cabin in Beechworth, I realise how much I needed this holiday and that I should have sent the Preamble out on Wednesday night.
The first thing I would like to do is thank PP Funno for his efforts with the Footy Trivia Night. All those who attended had a great time and much laughing was heard throughout the night.
I urge other members who did not attend this week to have a rethink for next year. The format was new and exciting and totally revamped. It was a great night and I thoroughly enjoyed it.The night wasn’t all about footy though, which was intended. There were quite a few non-football questions and, for those with no knowledge like me, there were activities between the “quarters”.
We had a quoit throwing competition to represent goal kicking which was won by Adwin. A handball competition won by Gary Evans. The last competition was a bit daunting because it was my turn to compete and I didn’t find out it was about speed until after I put my hand up. I thought my team was going to lose that one for sure until it turned out to be apple peeling. Who knew it was something I could do speedily?
The winning team were presented with the obligatory raw chickens. I’m glad I didn’t win, I can’t come at a raw chicken, the smell turns my stomach.
There were other prizes throughout the night like Rotary pens and letter openers. I’m sure they would all have had historical significance.
I would like to thank Naomi for setting up the room with the Mexican theme. It looked terrific. I think it complimented the footy paraphernalia that Funno scattered around the room. The burritos were delicious!
That’s it from me.
Over and out.
