Sometimes we all need a bit of silliness and Trelawnyd had that in spades last night when the Casino Night rolled out the red carpet.The Male members of the TCA donned their best DJs and set up betting tables with poker, blackjack roulette, craps and the like, then for a ten pound fee, we were give 150 £ in notes to make the biggest profit.
At the end of the night there was a fun auction where people betted their winnings against each other in order to buy a hamper etc, or some unknown Booby prizes such as Afternoon Tea Out ( which turned out to be two teabags and a cake)
You get the gist.
My friend Ponies Sue and I sat with village leaders Helen And Ian, Boffin Cameron and his mum, Gill from choir and Nick, but we were soon winning money handover fist as beginners’ luck kicked in.
Boffin Cameron leading the lady riders
Over a hundred villagers turned up
It’s raining and miserable today , and again bra straps are being hoisted as I’m off to the opening of the new cinema in Chester The Picturehouse
Im going to see the French hit drama Anatomy Of A Fall this afternoon
Hey dearhearts hey ho
Mrs Trellis's outfit was so stylish! So Coco Chanel! I notice that she had her designer fur jacket slung casually over the back of her chair. Mrs Trellis always wins the jackpot in my judgement.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Have Cameron and The Lady Riders announced their tour dates yet?
She outdid everyone me thinks
DeleteJohn, this sounded like so much fun! Sometimes I think my little town could use some fun, and then I remember they do, and I just rarely go. I can be such a homebody. Loved the bobble hat lady with her winnings!
ReplyDeleteJust grab the nettle and get out there
DeleteAnd a good time was had by all! Well done the TCA and also all those who supported the evening. Here's to many more such events! xx

ReplyDeleteFun is infectious Debby, old fashioned, non complicated fun, gambling and alcohol
DeleteWhat a fun evening, John, sounds like a good time was had by all. Is it going to be a busy schedule for you, working and University?
ReplyDeleteMy youngest just got accepted to the Henry Jackson School of International Studies graduate program, her goal is to move back to Europe after getting her doctoral. She'll be busy too. I'm hoping to be up to going up to Seattle for the holidays to see her.
Take care
Congratulations to her, I’m pleased for you both. You must be incredibly proud xxxx
DeleteMrs Trellis is up to no good that's certain.
