Wessex Mead (Trowbridge) Rotary Club

Bavarian Night evening

The Rotary Club of Wessex Mead (Trowbridge) held their 8th Annual Bavarian Night at St Margaret's Hall, Bradford on Avon on Saturday 13^th March. The hall was organised into 4 rows of long tables to resemble a Bavarian Oompah party night, where Karls Bavarian Brass entertained by playing not so traditional Bavarian party music and organising not so traditional party games including favourites such as knobbly knees and yodelling. The games were punctuated with the bands signature song ‘lean forward, lean backwards to the left and the right, stand up, sit down, to the left and the right song.

We split into two teams - Berlin and Hamburg, both had team captains and secretaries who chose contestants for the games. German beer and sausages were sold, and a commemorative glass Stein was included in the ticket price.

Over £1300 was raised in aid of Alzheimer;s Support South West and Wessex Meads very own International project in Indonesia for a Mobile Health Clinic Project to provide health care to street children.
