KEEP SMILING
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening at church service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, “STOP! ACTS 2:38!” (Repent and be baptized, in the name of the lord, so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, “Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell scripture at you.”
“SCRIPTURE?!” replied the burglar, “She said she had an AXE and TWO 38’s!

30th October 2020 – TRIVIA NIGHT A SCARY SUCCESS
Congrats to all those who took the time to dress up, decorate their tables and participate in our biggest ever trivia night to date. It was a full house, resulting in loads of merriment, tons of laughter and some damn good fun for all.
Huge thanks to Gary for the immense amount of research he puts into all the questions and time involved in sorting the music clips together! Thanks also to the scorers, Sue & Wendy, who keep everyone on track after each round.
Congrats to the trivia winners – The Gooligans – Viv, Kevin, Debbie, Martin & Gayle.
The best dressed couple went to Maureen & Dennis Greaves, with Debbie & Martin Davies a close second.
Best effort overall went to the New World team of Pot Stirrers, who even had a crystal ball on their table – not that it appeared to help much with the answers J
Best solo effort for dress went to Katrina.
The Club looked great, the staff looked the part and you all did a magnificent job.
Here’s to the next one we host in 2021 … I believe around Valentine’s Day!
