Party games to mark club's 32nd birthday

First, Happy Birthday was sung to individual members,who are celebrating their own special day. Celebrating the club’s 32nd birthday, the founder members cut the cake before lunch then, ‘party games’ provided entertainment. Proceedings were started by Chairman Anne Bumford, who became the ‘bingo caller' for the afternoon. 

The next game included a Probus ‘left and right story,’ a version of pass the parcel but at the end of which, everyone receives a gift that they are left holding. It required concentration as Anne read the story, which needed you to act as it progressed but her suspicions were confirmed, that many . . . didn’t know their left from their right. The prizes which were gained, gave surprises but much fun was had, as the story unfolded. 

Following a delicious meal, birthday cake was shared which had been ceremoniously cut, by founder chairman Del Johnson. Each member and guest were also given a personal gift of a pen, from the club. During the meeting, member shared with ladies, following a spate of scams in Cannock, there was a need to obtain an RFID pouch, to protect credit cards. 

The offender simply walks past someone with a handbag and are able to obtain details which enables them to access information and bank accounts, without people being aware. The meeting closed with the chairman's raffle and Paul's Prize before chairman Anne gave her Thought for the Day.
