Games Marathon

12 hour sponsored fund raising event.


 

Running from Mid-day through to Midnight, the challenge of a twelve hour sponsored games marathon was taken on, and duly completed by a small team of East Garston Social Club members. As Club Chairman Alan Money put it; "We survived after all but at the end off the 12 hours, we were all totally shattered".
In all, the team endured sixty-four games of pool, one hundred games of darts, and forty games of snooker, as well as several games of table tennis and a few games of skittles. Throughout the twelve hour time span, our team of players were joined at intervals by a variety of local residents and other club members who came in to show their support by playing us at pool and darts.

What's it all in aid of? ~ well the aim is to purchase a new 50inch flat screen television for the social club. This 12 hour event has raised between 8 and £900 towards the project, and the plan is to have the TV installed in time to show most if not all of the world cup series.

I would like to thank all the players for their participation, that's "Matthew, Paul, Ross, Ray, Ben and Steve" and of course, all the folks who so generously sponsored us. Thank you also to Wendy Money, Sarah Gibbard and Sally Smith for tending the bar and keeping us
all fully fed and watered.
