The latest volunteer social evening took place recently in the Recreation Room in Middleton village. There were many sceptical comments beforehand regarding the validity of racing snails and were they English or French snails?
Rest assured, no snails were harmed during the entire evening. It would have been impossible to hurt or harm the mighty gastropods because all the races were cartoons and the many volunteers who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The races held everyone in suspense up to when the winner was announced and the form book was ignored on more than one occasion.
Everyone had a great time what with the yelling and screaming, the cheering and booing and the winning and losing. A number of people went away with more money than the had on arrival but on the whole we got a load of FUN out of the FUNdraising event.
Thank you to everyone who came and made the evening a raucous affair - we hope to hold another one later this year.
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
