Members and guests initiatives were severely tested at Sutton Coldfield’s April meeting, held at its usual venue Moor Hall Hotel Sutton Coldfield, when after dinner all were invited to participate in a game of GENGA. The name comes from the Swahili word “kujenga” which means ‘to build or construct’. Players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower constructed of 54 blocks. Each block removed is then placed on top of the tower, creating a progressively more unstable structure. The game ends when the tower falls over. This task of course put all to the test each skilfully removing a block and hopefully at the same time not demolishing the tower. After numerous attempts, the tower remained in place but unfortunately, after a member, who will be nameless but a retired civil engineer removed a block the inevitable happened – it all came down landing in a heap. A most entertaining evening. The circle welcomed Joe Martin of Leamington Spa Circle making his final visit in his role as Provincial President, Father Ryan Service, Assistant Priest – Holy Trinity Sutton Coldfield, and Anne Edwards a Holy Trinity parishioner.
Member Tom Williams skilfully removes his block. President Tony Walsh proceeds with caution his move. The inevitably happens !!!!!
