A Casino Night at Plimmerton Rotary
President Kay says this was a highlight of her year. She thanked Allan first for initiating, and driving the event. Allan made all the games as his original set had been given away to a school several years ago. He is one of the many gems of our Club. Barbara, of course, is always right there in support literally helping to make money and typing lists, amongst other things. Philip Whearty, the amazing entrepreneur that he is, printed a great deal of money. The setup was led by Bryan, Allan, and Peter with several others. Bruce kept his treasurial (Yes, that is a word) eye on the financial side of the proceedings. Euon’s fantastic auctioneering skills saw bottles of wine being sold for a thousand dollars. The croupiers had a lot of fun hustling business for the various games: Rachel (Roll of the Dice), Graham Craig (Pontoon), Bryan (Roulette), Dexter (Chocolate Wheel), Bruce (Horse Racing), Kay (Two-Up) and Peter (Slater Racing, Technical Manager and Animal Trainer). A big thanks has to go also, to the punters. You were great – losing and winning large sums with abandon. Spot prizes were handed out. From a very strong field, Jenny Lucas and David Knight won the Best Dressed Woman and Man respectively. Perhaps we should have had a prize for the best dressed/coordinated couple as there were several.
The buzz, laughter, shouts of triumph or dismay punctuating the balmy air were testament to a very enjoyable evening. All in all, an evening to remember. Thank you, Plimmerton Rotarians and visitors.
