29 July 2025 – Social Evening with a Cornhole Tournament

Could all attendees please arrive by 5.30pm to ensure a prompt start at 5.45pm as indicated.

This is the first of our social/informal evenings of this new Rotary year, being held at the Savoy Park Hotel on Tuesday 29^th July, with a ‘ Cornhole Tournament’

‘Cornhole’ is an easy  bean bag tossing game, where players take turns to score points by landing bags on a raised board or sinking them through a hole. 3 points for a bag through the hole,1 point for a bag on the board at the end of the game. The bags can be  knocked off the board or into the hole by other players’ bean bags! The objective is to be the first team to reach 10 points.

Members can of course either play or just spectate.  Teams of two and, depending on numbers, probably a knock out competition with a series of short games. As an example:

• 16 players would mean 8 teams and therefore 4 games in round 1,
• 2 games in round 2, and
• A Final – depending upon timing, after the meal.
• Total of 7 games lasting maybe 8 to 10 minutes each

If we have larger numbers participating, then we shall have shorter games.  Weather permitting, it is planned to hold the competition in the hotel’s gardens, or indoors if raining. The MCs for the evening shall be Bob Cherry and Alan Meikle.
