On a balmy evening in Como it was very pleasant to meet Steve<\/strong>, another rookie who looks like coming back for season 2022 – welcome Steve! He destroyed the usual beginner’s luck phenomenon by amassing an impressive collection of bomb explosions in Pass The Bomb<\/em>, and also a spectacular last placing in Sherlock<\/em> – not due to bad luck but a well executed villain arrest by Tara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned last month, trophies this year have been replaced by awarding the annual $50 November cash “Beano” prize to the competition winner – that winner turned out to be your Editor and Treasurer, Rob<\/strong>. Nicole<\/strong> was leading the charge after November, but only by a small 10 point margin, so her December WHP allowed both Rob<\/strong> and Louise<\/strong>, both with two placings (75 points each), to overtake Nicole<\/strong> who came 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sherlock Holmes<\/em> was won convincingly by Tara<\/strong> who made some very good arrests, twice earning negative points. In addition to Nicole, Wayne and Steve also WHP. (For the rookies, WHP = Went Home Pointless).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We now have an interesting situation regarding the Wooden Spoon. Excluding any rookies who are protected from the Spoon by rule 7.5, the Spoon contender prior to the December meeting was Genelle<\/strong>, lagging behind Wayne by only 10 points. Since Genelle got 10 points for her 3rd placing in Pass theBomb<\/em> there is now a tie for the Spoon! We’ll have to decide what happens when we next meet. Perhaps we could just not award the Spoon this year – after all there are no other trophies being handed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grand Final, and a new member – Steve On a balmy evening in Como it was very pleasant to meet Steve, another rookie who looks like coming back for season 2022 – welcome Steve!
