I've been browsing through the note books and photos that were given to me when I became the Chairperson of our Guild. There is a photo album which states that our Guild was formed in 1964 so it has reached the grand old age of 50. Throughout all the photos, whether black and white or colour just like the current members it is women getting together and enjoying themselves whether it was having tea and biscuits, a trip to the garden centre, weekends away to Whittonstall (which I can remember going to as a Guide) or taking part in a barn dance. The common thread between then and now is food and drink.
We went through plenty of suggestions for how to celebrate this birthday: 50 lengths of the pool, 50 exercise classes, 50 photos of the Chairperson (me) in different locations in the North East, a 50's style afternoon tea, read 50 books.
In the end we did a night of challenges none of which involved food but did use a 50p. Although in the planning I thought we could split into 2 teams for the challenges and the winning team would win a bar of chocolate each. Unfortunately we only had 6 people at that meeting so not enough to split into teams but just enough for us all to "win" a bar chocolate".
The challenges we did were
- flip a 50p off the side of the table and catch it
- carry a 50p between your knees and drop it in a cup
- how many items can you place on a 50p
- how many pictures can you draw using the 50p as the template
- who can balance a 50p on their nose for the longest
- who can get their 50p nearest the bottle
- balance a 50p on your finger and walk to the end of the room and back
- build a structure out of a sheet of paper to support the 50p
- and finally, a quiz by Joanne about the 5th T.
The 5th T I can hear you ask, well so did we so here is the quiz.
The fifth letter is a T
1. great, fantastic _ _ _ _ t _ _ _ _ _ _
2. move _ _ _ _ t
3. use to record weight or height _ _ _ _ t
4. pay for things at a _ _ _ _ t _ _
4. not a full amount _ _ _ _ t _ _ _
6. prime number _ _ _ _ t _ _ _
7. not savoury _ _ _ _ t
8. 1st 2nd or 3rd _ _ _ _t_ _ _
9. wait/pause _ _ _ _ t_ _ _
10. from the Wizard of Oz _ _ _ _ t _ _
For some this will probably be easy for others it may take a bit longer - just like the teams on the night. I was going to put the answers upside down at the bottom of this post but I cannot work out how so I will put them in the next post. They might be upside down they might not, you'll just have to wait and see.
