It was a slightly damp and muggy night at Nicole’s as we gathered to play That’s Broadway<\/em> and a new card game based on the Sydney suburban train system. We had missed four meetings due to Covid lockdown. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the presence of 2 potential new members, one of whom looks like staying on for season 2022. Welcome Ross<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s Broadway<\/em> went well except for almost overlooking the rule that allows a challenge to get out of paying for landing on a production, instead making a takeover bid with a 50% chance of success.

Genelle <\/strong>and Tara<\/strong> got points for 3rd place in the two games, while Louise<\/strong> WHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to having missed a significant part of the competition, it has been agreed that there will be no trophies presented in 2021, and the annual November Beano $50 prize will instead be presented to the overall competition winner in December. The venue for our year end outing is proposed to be Mikes Grill at the Royal Hotel Sutherland on December 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lockdown over and 2 newbies come to the meet.
