What a weekend from start to finish our hosts Gary and Yvonne certainly went the extra mile to ensure the Ramblers enjoyed their Valentines weekend.
Friday night saw tables turn red with Roses and hearts as Ramblers gathered in the hall to participate in the fun filled activities.
People’s bingo gave us an insight into the many hidden talents of our fellow members. Despite it not being the time of year for the Olympics and with a bit of coaxing three brave couples volunteered and took to the arena to participate in the highly skilled events.
Event 1 Parallel string and Ball balancing
Event 2 Blindfold Marching on the spot
Event 3 Toilet Roll Grand National
Event 4 Happy Valentines Candle Challenge
Event 5 Lady and the Tramp Spaghetti Challenge
After some wheeling and dealing and a few more liquid refreshments the impressive Medal Ceremony took place.
Bronze - Sandra and Victor
Silver - Joy and Robert
Gold - Evey and Davey
To round off the evening celebrations romantic music was played by DJ Gary.
Saturday Ramblers had their usual fix of retail therapy and relaxation before donning their Glad Rags for an evening of dancing.
On arrival in the hall our hosts greeted everyone with a Sparkling Wine and chocolate hearts reception. Love certainly was in the air as couples took to the floor and danced the night away
On Sunday morning a big thanks to Jack and his team for our tea and coffee which we all enjoyed with Yvonnes homemade shortbread and a slice of Williams birthday cake.
A big Happy Birthday to William
In our chairman’s absence Joe brought the weekend to a close and a well deserved thank you was given to Gary and Yvonne for their fantastic effort and hard work over the weekend.
Look forward to Rambling into Newtownards on the 28th February
