Partners were placed in opposing teams and genders split as evenly as possible. I can’t remember the exact scores but Team A scored in the 180s and Team B scored in the 170s. As the result was very close, the box of Celebrations was shared round everyone.\n\nWe broke for our meal at 8.30pm – fish and chips or curry and rice, poppadums and chutney, with mushroom wellington for the vegetarians. A mixed salad was also available plus lots of extra chips!\n\nA bar was available for the purchase of alcohol and soft drinks.\n\nAfter a very enjoyable supper, Gordon set up the second game of “Killer”. Each person put £1 into the kitty. Each participant had one bowl in turn. If they failed to knock any pins down, they lost a “ life”. Once 3 “lives” had been lost they were out.
