Our joint Birthday Party for five members.
We decided that as five of our members became 80 this year we would hold a joint party to celebrate their coming of age.
So, Lynda H. Carol L. Carol S. Jenny and Ray were guests of honour on Saturday when Lynda and Janet decided to have a kiddies party, complete with pass-the-parcel and other silly games (musical chairs could result in 12 hours of A&E so voted against that).
Afternoon tea even included jelly, blancmange (in rabbit form, sort of) and ice cream. There were so many cakes and sweeties I'm sure most people had a sugar rush and never slept that night!!!
After tea we had a magic show put on at great expense by the Dynamic Dave with assistance from Reg and Chris K. This was followed by a rousing sing song led by our resident songstress Nicki.
A closing "Sweet Caroline" finished the day superbly.
If a picture paints a thousand words then I can only say in this modern world what does a photo paint? My interpretation is that a photo says it all - it shows love, happiness and total friendship.
So my lovely members please treasure the photos from our 80's party and you will look back in the months to come and remember the fun we had on Saturday afternoon.
Thanks again to Sandra and Linda for their help today. .

Whist Afternoons...
We will be holding a Whist Afternoon on the following dates:
Monday 21st October
George's Report: With the super 80's birthday party on Saturday still on our minds, enthusiastic Deane Park revellers set out on their next social challenge - our October afternoon whist competition.
We had an exceptionally high turn out, with eighteen members all seeking glory and battling for a chance for each winning pair to receive a bottle of wine.
It must be said that the temptation of Mars bars is also rapidly becoming another highlight with our extremely competitive players.
The eventual victors with a high score of 96 points were Ron.S and George H. Bill and John G with 85 points were runners-up, with Carol S and Ray S in third place with 81 points. Ron.W and Reg received the marvellous Mars bars.
Another successful and very enjoyable afternoon. With our regular monthly whist afternoons now returning, all members, new players, learners, potential whist champions and our usual cardsharps are urged to get names down on notices in clubhouse.
Thanks again to Ray for his organisational skills.
