We all met at a function room at the Brassey Hotel where we started off with champagne and being bossed around by the Clerkette of the Course. Guess who.
It was good to see everyone getting into the Wig theme, with lots of very original creations. It was often difficult to work out who you were talking to as the wigs seemed to disguise people that you've known for years. And sad to say that some people actually looked better than ever before.
We had a range of competitions, ranging from racing trivia to mathematical challenges and even several rounds of Bingo. Half way through we stopped for an afternoon tea with scones with jam and cream, and a selection of Danish pastries.
After afternoon tea we were treated to a surprise visit from Gai Wateringhose. She gave us the lowdown on her recent problem with one of her main customers and how to deal with troublesome owners.
All too soon the day was over, with the victorious table winning the ingredients for a four-course roast dinner to be hosted at one of the winners' houses. Deanne & Di donated a high tea for second place, and third won the ingredients for a bacon and egg breakfast.
Here is a slideshow of the day.
