February 2023 Meeting

14 members gathered on 7th February in Christ Church Hall for a Race meeting. 

Everyone received £100 in “crypto money”, and could bet on up to 3 horses in each of 8 races, with names like The Rump Stakes, Legge’s Challenge, and The Munny Chase. The horses also had some amusing names, such as Knot a Sausage, Oars Meet, and Spota Bova.

Most members started fairly cautiously, but placed larger bets as the evening went on. The clear winner after a rather quiet start was Heather, well ahead of Derek L, and Pat in 3rd place. They were the lucky recipients of bottles of wine. Liz won a packet of crisps!

Many thanks to Graham and Caroline for setting up all the equipment (laptop, spreadsheet and projector) so that the evening went very smoothly, and running the racing, and to Mary and Derek for the raffle.

We will next be meeting on March 7th at the British Legion Club in Limpsfield for our Skittles & Supper Evening. Come along and see if you can beat Jean-Claude Killy Kent, or Flinging Freeman, or Biffer Bailey. For further details, please contact Janet on 82 2333.
