Saturday 29th May. The plan is to have our own 'World Cup' as a curtain raiser to the minor event in South Africa!!! It will be based on playing bar football and members will be asked to form their own teams. The team name odes not have to be a country, anything inventive will do. There will be a World Cup trophy for the iwnning team and prizes for the best-dressed team. A playing team is 4 people, but you can have substitutes - you may also want a manager, a team doctor etc. Be creative. Food will be served during the tournament and the cost will be £5 per head. More details contact email
On 26 April a very successful Murder Mystery Evening was enjoyed by 64 Octopus members, who came dressed as various sleuths.
Murder Before Midnight was performed superbly by members of Octopus revealing clues to the audience over a period of half an hour. A fish and chip supper was supplied whilst the audience mulled over the first half of the entertainment. Charlies Angels proved to be the optimum sleuths and they walked away with the prize for solving the murder and best dressed table.
On 15 February 67 members sat down to an excellent meal supplied by The Park Hotel, Falfield. After the meal a splendid disco arranged by one of Octopus' members completed a most entertaining evening.
