A big thank you from Sinead and I for the big turnout last night , We are delighted to see everyone enjoyed the evenings proceedings , correcting the answer sheets was a lesson in the 'human mind' , how some people managed to come up with some of the answers will haunt Me for ever !!!!!!!! . the scavenge hunt also was interesting with items as diverse as a LIVE crab ( We were looking for a deceased 'crustacean' ) to a few toenail clippings of dubious origin . the quest for a photo of the participant with a tube of 'Preparation H ' did not end very well !!!!!!! with all chemist shops closed and nobody having the 'bottle' to knock on doors looking for a tube of the 'elusive' lotion the quest was futile , and no !! We were NOT going to accept various 'phone photoshop wizardry ' . Thanks to Damien and Niall who traveled all the way from Limerick to take part in the event and represent Conlon MINI to whom we are grateful for the event prizes . thanks to Adrian and Adam for taking the time to travel all the way from Wicklow it is appreciated and I hope ye had a good time . what else can I say , well the 'highlight ' of the evening was the reaction of Gavin when I activated the 'witch' while he was passing through the dark pathway to Charles Fort ----- the reaction was priceless have you ever considered taking up the 'high jump' Gavin . again Sinead and I would like to thank everyone for coming along and as long as you Guys enjoy taking part We are happy to organise the Mayhem .
Sinead and G
