Winners – Lee and Steve with 16 points2nd Prize – Michele and Bill with 16 points 3rd Prize – Dave and Tony with 15 points Ladies’ High Score – 126 SueMen’s High Score – 133 Steve

Last week six teams played six rounds. We guess the bad weather kept a few away yet despite being Friday the thirteenth no ill befell us! Some attentions were split between cricket on the big screen and the dartboards with excitement both ways. Tight scoring all round led to a play off for first place and our two guests for the evening took out the high score prizes. All in all, another relaxed and enjoyable evening.

We have room for more players of all skill levels. If you like to play darts come along and see if you like us at one of our cordial sessions in the Sports Lounge from 7:45 on Friday evenings.

Cheers, Dave.

Police EmergencyThis is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.

He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”

Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
