Skittles Evening 27th July 2024
A great time was had by all at our u3a Skittles Evening.
Our first round of skittles was held before tucking into our Fish & Chip supper (other meals were available).
Next we had a raffle, with many members getting over excited to win the prizes.
Then with great tension, the tables lined up for the final throw of the evening. To say that members in our u3a are competitive is an understatement. In the end it was a nail biting throw-off between three members. Cath Harris, Clive Matthews and Howard Wells. The overall winner was Howard Wells but all three went home with well deserved prizes. £145 surplus was made for our u3a funds.
Congratulations to the Winners and many thanks to everyone who helped make the event such a successful one.
We hope to hold another Skittles Evening next term, but as this one sold out in just two days and with only room for 50, you have to be quick!

Many people commented on how good they performed and how enjoyable it was. Many said they thought Riverblue gave a very professional performance. They were invited to come back and perform at Christmas in the hope that both groups can perform together. Watch this space.
