Rovers this week was themed around the upcoming Valentine's Day. It was a night of romance-fuelled mayhem. Rovers were paired up for the night, allocated into couples by drawing names out of a bag. Once the couples had got to know each other, and introduced themselves to the group, the festivities began.
The 3-legged race was won by lovers Chris Greener & Matthew Ray. This couple also amazed the group by being the fastest pair to don women's clothing in a record time of 1 minute 10 seconds (another competition, not just an impromptu drag show). Our couples also tried their hand at poetry - after choosing two key words from a pile of cards (one word being one associated with romance, the other not so much). I will attach some examples at a later date - once I have deciphered the atrocious handwriting of some of our Crew members! Notable poems were those by Matt R, Chris and Travis. Following in the romantic theme, the couples also made chocolate-coated strawberries.... blind-folded. These creations were enjoyed with supper at the end of the night.
Taking a leaf out of the "Spicks & Specks" book of fun, the game of "Substitution" was played, with a love twist. Love songs were sung by Rovers to their respective partners, with the lyrics replaced by the words from our very own "Rovering to Success". The couples had varying degrees of success in this game, with Iain Laing and his life partner Kylie (a visiting friend of Sam's) taking the prize.
An enjoyable night was had by all, I hope, with spirits high and love definately all around! Happy Valentine's Day!
