MX5 Run - Fun & Games at Reading Country Club - 9 March 2014

Fun & Games yes indeed, that is what it was! The participants drew coloured ribbons from an envelope and were divided into four teams, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow.   The format was ten games consisting of a Word game, Pictionary, Charades, Memory Game, Clay modelling, Car Quiz, Music Quiz, 30 Seconds, Taste &Smell &Touch Game, and an Activity Game.

Those were the games and the absolute fun was provided by the participants. The winners were the Yellow Team with a narrow one point win over the Green Team, followed by the Blue Team and in last place the Red Team. It must be noted that the Red Team were a player short and battled on gamely, thanks Reds for your gamesmanship despite being a player short .

The final score looked like this:

	Blue Team		Red Team	Green Team	Yellow Team
Word Game	59		47	50	63
Pictionary	4		4	10	4
Charades	4		4	4	4

The venue at Reading Country Club was fantastic, thanks to Chris van der Merwe for arranging the venue – much appreciated.  Reading provided an excellent meal and was enjoyed by all.  We also had a visiting couple from the Triumph Club, and they were visibly impressed by the camaraderie and gamesmanship within the MX5 Club. As has been the case over the last few weeks, we were in for a heavy downpour, and thus we waited for the deluge to end. The next round of fun & games started as we tried to take the cars over the river like exit. The MX5`s performed gamely and would have been up to the challenge of most 4x4`s.
