Casino Night - Marshals yard
Marshalls Yard Casino Night rally started on the Friday in glorious sunshine without a cloud in the sky and saw 26 vans including a large contingent from the Anglia group all welcomed and parked up by stewards; Sue & Mick Pilkiw and Ann & Mike Hadlow. Many came into the hall for a welcome tea or coffee and a natter. The evening session started with the rally fee collection, raffle and bingo ticket sales, followed by 3 games of bingo called by Mike and and then a cryptic quiz based on "old money" conducted by Ann. Saturday saw another beautiful day with members taking a stroll into town for a bit of shopping, a coffee or two or a visit to the local "spoons". On returning to the site we could compare notes with each other over another tea or coffee in the hall. The evenings proceedings began with most quests turning out in their very smart dinner suits and evening gowns as befitted the occasion. The Casino consisted of tables holding Roulette, Blackjack, Dice & Find the Joker with gamblers betting with the "Monopoly Money" issued at the start. The winner being the player with the most cash in hand at the close of play. This eventually turned out to be Sue Louch who was presented with a large bottle of bubbly! During the interval we also held the Annual Snail Race for everyones entertainment which proved to be very much an East Midlands vs Anglia competition. The ladies final was between Sue Louch (East mids) & Jan Starsmeare (Anglia) and the mens final between Steve Louch (East Mids) & Mitch Young (Anglia). The winners of each of these then went on to the grand final being between Sue & Mitch with Mitch taking home the trophy on behalf of the Anglia group. The childrens competition was won by Harrison with Thea second and Evie third. Well done to all. Sunday coffee morning, the closing speech by Vice Chair Sandra who thanked everyone for coming and those that helped before the raffle draw. Everyone set off in the still fantastic weather. |
