The Rotary Club of Corringham Thameside

In the District Cribbage competition, Corringham Thameside (represented by Eric Stanbury and David Fenn) played the Rotary Club of Wickford in the first round. The tie was played on Monday 7th November 2011.
Corringham went into a two leg lead after the first of the singles leaving Wickford with the task of winning all the remaining ties in the rubber. David Fenn was soundly beaten by his oponent, losing 2-0, and Eric followed suit, going down 2-1 in a closely fought leg. To reach this stage, we had been playing for nearly three and a half hours, which meant that there was no time left to play the deciding tie. Our oponents, Wickford, very sportingly suggested that we should decide the tie on a simple cut of the cards. Eric cut first and turned up a nine. Not bad but certainly not unbeatable. Richard cut for Wickford and luckily for us it was just a seven.
We would like to play tribute to the sportsmanship of our oponents, who both wished us the best of luck in the next round.

We had an excellent turn out for our “Like A Millionaire” Quiz (24.11.07) – Over a hundred people making up 14 teams took part !! Amid the quizical looks and much scratching of heads we raised  a huge £485.00 with an additional £20.56 collected towards the “Mile of 2p coins”. The winning team were the “Wino’s “, who ironically, won a case of wine !! We would like to thank all those who attended, donated items for the raffle, and assisted in the running & organisation of this quiz. Thankyou.
Look out for our next quiz night …. details to be announced !
