Beetle Drive

A family Beetle Drive was held in St Anne’s Hall on February 3rd. Those who attended had a fun evening where dice were shaken avidly in order to be the first one to complete the beetle and have the satisfaction of making everyone else stop!! There were a number of rounds where someone in the room had been unable to get a 6 to even start their beetle!

After 12 rounds the winner with the highest overall score was Mark Horn. Thomas Horn getting the prize for the most imaginative beetle! Apparently The Horn family have a Christmas tournament and a family cup for their beetle drives so practice is obviously needed by the rest of us!!

Although there was not an entry fee the sum of £50.60p was raised. On this occasion our aim was to provide a free event for people to attend and it was disappointing that there were not more people there.

Cancer Research are always in need of funds and sadly there aren't many families that will not be affected by someone needing treatment for this illness, research has made so many advances but there is still much to be done.

Please let us know by writing in to The Whistler what events you would like to attend in the village and if feasible we will discuss trying to organise it at our Committee meetings so that we can raise yet more money for this worthwhile cause.

Our next event is THE BIG BREAKFAST in St Anne’s Hall on March 24th.
