Wednesday 21st September
Sports Republic Open Evening and
Club Tournament
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Open Evening
was postponed.
Also, the club tournament did not take place either. But there
was an encouraging turnout after a quiet start to the season, and a
good number of games were played.
Friday 4th November
Big Quiz Night
Before the event, there was much speculation that the Quiz
Master might be Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, or Chris 'Millionaire'
Tarrant, or Jeremy 'Eggheads' Vine. But on the night, who was in
the Chair? None other than our very own Graham Munday with (as you
can see below) his
glamorous assistant, Mrs Munday.
There was a good turnout of 30+ members and guests who divided
into six teams and bravely battled through the initial rounds.

After the excellent half-time meal, the questions got harder, but
eventually, results were announced; We thought it was Bingo
came third with 96 points and Woodpeckers just nudged ahead
with 98 points. The winners were a bunch of showoffs called Sidford
Mix with 113 points.
However, the important number is the £180 (approximately) that
the event raised for the club, helped by the generous donation of
prizes for the raffle.
Wednesday 14th December
Christmas Knockout Tournament
A useful number of members were present, ensuring a jocular
evening for the last club night before Christmas. Pairs were
divided into two round-robin groups, and the winners of each group
then played in the final. The handicap system meant Ruth &
David beat Ann & Chris 21 - 10 in an otherwise close match.
Father Christmas was busy in Lapland, so his officially appointed
representative, Graham Baker, dispensed presents to the players
from his capacious container.
The second fund-raiser is the legendary games evening at the
Blue Ball Inn, Stevens Cross, Sidford. The array of games last
year included Skittles, Tiddlewinks, Table Skittles and Shove
Ha'penny. Graham is promising to add others this year to test your
range of skills. Start time is 7.30pm and is open to members,
family and friends. Tickets are £10 (includes buffet) from Graham
or Linda.
Wednesday 28th March

arrangements.
