Mendip Events
Oliver Lloyd
A farewell party was recently held in the back room of the Hunter's. Dan Hasell, using appropriately a diving knife and scalpel, the cake which had been specially decorated for the occasion. He then proposed a sherry toast to Oliver. A memorial plaque will he mounted in Wookey Hole at a later date.
Shepton Mallet
As in years gone past, this year's event was held in, the orderly and sophisticated manner to which we have become accustom. All food that was not consumed was passed to the next table, who in turn would pass it on. The games followed the bun fight, the B.E.C., gentlemen as ever, allowed the hosts to win~ even though the Shepton seems to be short of large membered members at present who can fart "pennies" into jars at twenty paces.
