Aesir's Christmas in July Dinner

Aesir Rover Crew kindly invited us to join them to celebrate christmas in July with a dinner at their hall, on the night we had about 8 Anstey people and 5 Aesir people attend. Arriving just as Stuey was leaving as the desert had been forgotten, we found that the boys had done a pretty good job of decorating and setting the table complete with christmas crackers and candles, something Im sure was regretted later on. The meal was pretty good, esspecially considering how cheap it was, we all had finger food, soup, roast and cheesecake for desert. this was all toped off with some classy Christmas music and a visit from a local possum. Thanks for inviting us, Im so glad we didnt have to clean up and that they werent my table cloths!

Anstey Quiz Night 2005

About 90 people attended the 3rd Anstey Quiz night at the Illingworth Hall including Rovers, Old boy’s, parents and friends. The night had everything from a potato Eiffel Tower complete with an accompanying harmonica rendition, a hat for alcoholics complete with spew bag and a hat to put on grapes to keep flies away, 150 blown up rubber gloves and 22 flavours of jelly.

The hall seemed a lot more spacious than previous years and after a bit of culling, there were fewer questions and a much better pace. We had lots of games this year; the Mintie wrapper competition, the bottle toss, the Glove of Love, stand up/ sit down, potato carving, Mad Hatters, and what items were on tables. There was much contention between the two tables competing for the jelly shot competition, one having taped their shot glasses together, eventually this was decided by a crowd vote and we never want to hear about it again. The Quiz itself seemed to go well with a lot of flashbacks in the TV theme songs round and the monopoly board to fill out and we even had an Anstey Pot luck special round with questions from each crew member.

In the end Pine Forest was the winning Rover crew and second overall by 1 point, taking home the Rover trophy with first overall going to the table of Alex’s friends.

Thanks to all of our sponsors, to everyone who came along and to those who helped with the organisation and cleaning up afterwards, we really appreciated your support.

Quiz Prep

there has been a stack of Quiz prep for this years quiz night. the weekend before was spent going through the questions and getting the TV themes for the audio round which was the biggest blast from the past. as a bit of time out we all went for a look at our neighbours house directly opposite just because the was a open inspection on, a bit too small for my liking. The cash and carry expedition was pretty good, lots of impulse buying there and the rest of the week Brendan and I made jelly shots with michael coming to help on fri night too.
