Military Whist at St. Anne’s

Is it going to turn to freezing rain? How will the roads be when we go home? But the dismal weather forecast did not deter fourteen tables of players coming out for an evening of Military Whist in St. Anne’s Church Hall, Richmond, on January 11. Play got underway and everyone enjoyed the evening. The delicious buffet lunch was appreciated and the awarding of prizes followed.

First place, with 27 flags, was earned by the table of Shirley & Ian Smith, Judy & Francis Saffin. Closely following with 26 flags was Debbie Knowles, Allie Vanderwal, Joyce Mastine and Carol Nixon. The table of Patsy Biggs, Sara Fowler, Collette Pageau and Raymond Fortier held the honour of low score. Bev Jones got the prize for four kings in one hand after a cut of the cards and Evelyn Fraser held 4 twos for a prize.

Door prizes went to Allie Vanderwal, Sherley Provis, Ian Smith, Helen Knowles, Francis Saffin, Thelma Day, Lou Joyal, Jean Guy Methot, Marie Cassidy, Linda Badger, Collette Pageau, Brooke Lachapelle, Shirley Smith, Evelyn Fraser, Fran Dewar and Bob Dunn. The groceries went home with Patsy Biggs.

Many hands made light work of the clean up and everyone was on his/her way home quickly. Please join us next month on Thursday evening, February 8, for another fun evening of cards.
