No business matters to
report from our August meeting as this was the President’s evening and as usual
a very different format to our normal monthly meetings. This year we all met at
the Recreation Field for a session of golf croquet followed by refreshments.
Members had all brought a plate of food to share and drinks were provided by
the committee. Earlier in the day the weather had looked threatening with dark
clouds and some light rain. However, as often seems to be the case in Leigh, as
the evening approached things improved, the sun came out and we were able to go
ahead as planned.
The golf croquet turned out
to be good fun with a proper instructor and a lot of members taking part. We
went round the course in groups of 4, two teams of 2, competing for the first team
to get one of their balls through each hoop in the correct direction. It was even
trickier than it sounded and could be quite tactical. With 7 hoops to negotiate
most results were fairly even but one team managed to win 5 hoops so well done
to them.
Thank you to everyone who came and brought food and drink
to share. And a BIG Thank You to Marianne Merchant who got so many of us
involved in playing golf croquet.
It’s back to indoors for the
September meeting on Monday the 9th, when we will hear about
Microbes & Mayhem, a deep sea adventure!
