Scavenger Hunt Sunday 21st September 2014
Sunday we had our scavenger hunt run. What a day it was. Met at Bastion point at 10 and it was so windy and wet I could hardly standup and was certainly wet after greeting everyone and handing them their papers. Most who had said they would come did arrive so they were given their papers and sent on their way with instructions to meet at Ciao Bella Clevedon for lunch at 1pm.
The day was so cold and wet though that by 11.15 I thought many would be happier if I called lunch earlier at 12. Boy was I wrong. I was asked for extra time by some and others said "no way would they be finished as they were having fun hunting for everything" so 1pm it was.
Lunch was a noisy affair. People were arriving with huge shopping/carry bags and cameras. As I would call out the item it was up to the member to display it and then mark down the given points for it. Some I do admit were definitely "thinking outside the square" but that's what I had instructed so couldn't complain lol
Points were added up and prizes were handed out .
1st prize went to John and Vicki.
2nd prize was Estrella and Sharon.
3rd prize went to Pat and Jan
4th prize was for Gol (new member)
5th prize to Chris and Janet
and the booby prize (5 points out of a possible 1340) went to Bryan and Desre :)
The sun came out for some of the run and I have been asked for 5 hours hunting time for the next hunt we do.
All in all a fun day even in the stormy weather and everyone seems to have had fun.
A couple of photos Pat took for the game. The task was "hug a stranger", "shake hands with a man with a beard", get a "piggy back ride from a stranger" Pat and Jan stalked this poor man in Clevedon before Jan grabbed him, hugged him, shook his hand and then demanded a piggy back ride. he is probably still in shock :)
