Here’s what Yvonne Lorkin said “it was a hot and sticky evening – loads of glitter and face paint and bad wigs and synthetic fabric – as is the way with fancy dress shindigs. We began this auspicious occasion with everyone upstanding for the national anthem, after which I declared I hoped the teams were better wine-tasters than they were singers!”
Also, “there was no end of sledging and one team was loudly accused of cheating by changing their answer halfway through the count…it was a great night, fun for all the family”.
Last Man Standing: Clive Jones, Nautilus Estate, after a 10-question long battle
Yvonne said of the ‘Best Dressed’ team “The Mexican wrestlers won Best Costume mainly due to their wearing their undies on the outside, having tiny torches down said undies and wearing their elaborate masks the whole evening. “
