Gill regains the upper hand
Gill turned up to the May meet after missing the previous two and made short work of her challengers, breaking the 3-way tie at the top by winning Trivial Pursuit with 4 cheeses, then coming 2nd in Uno, opening an 80 point lead on the pack that was baying at her heels in April.Mark did well to come 2nd in TP after a 3-way tie (3 cheeses each) was broken by a quiz-off with Rob coming 3rd. Mark’s 50 points have lifted him out of Wooden Spoon position, overtaking Louise. Tara also made points by winning Uno and now she’s coming 2nd but only 10 points ahead of Rob. Gill was quite chuffed to win TP, wallowing in the knowledge that she finally beat Rob at his favourite game. Genelle and Louise both WHP.
We had two absentees from this meet – Wayne had to attend a crisis meeting at the Musical Society, and Nicole apologised for last minute notice, she had a deadline looming that involves painting designs on 40 leotards! This allowed us to play Trivial Pursuit individually – no teams.
In June it will be Wayne hosting at Jannali, and he has picked two new games of his own making. Cops & Robbers is a “fast paced action game with robbers committing crimes, taking hostages, creating sieges and battling 4 law enforcement agencies”. The backup is Slam – a cricket-based card game.
Thanks to you all for your tolerance of our pup Daisy May – here she is looking apologetic for snuffling in Louise’s bag and finding a pack of tissues and a work card key, both now slightly chewed. Eventually she settled down and went to sleep, leaving us in peace.
