Friday Night Fun and Games - May 16
Friday night we had a small, but very tasteful group, which was actually good because we needed to have a conversation about how things will run in the future. First, we played "Two Truths and a Lie". Some people were pretty obvious (your leader) and others kept their "lies" well hidden. It was a fun, whole group activity. After this we sat down and talked about the way things should run. Later we played team Trivial Pursuit which was enjoyable and maddening at the same time. :)
It was my (leader) desire to get the group up and running and now that it it running well, I have always planned to be the organizer but to have the group be the hosts and the pickers of the games we play. We all agreed that we want to play outside for the next few months, weather permitting. After that, we'll run things like the Wine and Appies group, or the Bridge Group. The leader will organize and ask for a host. The host will pick the games for the night and run things. They can do this in a park (Filberg, Lewis, and one other one were mentioned) of their choosing. They would arrange for the gathering of the game equipment and run the evening. In the fall, there will be a cut off of numbers if their house can only accommodate 14 or less. If they have a small house and we're in town, they can use our basement but are responsible for the evening. (Note: We're gone from Dec. 14 - April 14 next winter.)
So, the group is well established and the players are keen and are willing to take responsibility for at least one evening a year. I'm very proud.
Any questions, lob them to Vicki @ vmatthew@shaw.ca .

Games Group - General Information
The Friday Fun and Games Night is a FUN group of members who like Board and Parlour Games. Everyone should leave the party laughing, not caring if they won or lost.
To give you an idea, we have recently played Scattergories, Charades, Pictionary, Rummoli and Mexican Train. When you arrive you will be able to choose the games you want to play, that have been pre-selected. About halfway through the evening, the games and groups will change. If a player wants to play a certain game, they should let me (Vicki) know and I’ll try to get the game. You may be asked to guide the game. If you have a game you can provide that would be very welcome too.
We play once a month, at people’s houses, usually on the last Friday of the month at 7:00 PM. However, there can be tweaks and cheats on that. For example, we could meet on a Saturday night. Members of the group will be made aware of any tweaks early on.
