We had bingo, a pop quiz, wrap a person in a toilet roll to make a Mummy game, and a disco by Billy Bodkin who entertained us for the night. To top it all some of the Friends group - namely Tracey and Lynne and Traceys husband and son decided to put on an X Factor type turn- no-one knew this was happening and so it came as a complete surprise when the act was announced by Billy. Thanks Billy !
